Binary package hint: pidgin
I have 2 ICQ accounts configured in my Pidgin, with their character encoding set to cp1251 (Cyrillic).
Usual chat messages are shown correctly (converted from cp1251 to utf8 as per my locale).
However when anyone asks me for authorization to include in their contact list, a small grey pane is shown at the bottom of the contact list, with wrongly-encoded Cyrillic characters (as if they were converted from cp1251 to utf8 twice).
This is probably related to Pidgin bug 11471 - http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/11471
This bug is kept unfixed in mainline Pidgin, version by version, due to some concerns of Pidgin devs.
If Ubuntu maintainers could integrate the patch mentioned there, it would be great.
Thank you in advance. |
