Greek support?

[oxy86]

Hi there,

thanks for this great app!

I came across Tyrs today and I liked the idea of microblogging from my linux console.

The problem is I can't read or write in Greek inside Tyrs. I saw that it has UTF-8 support, but something is probably wrong with it. I tested both the github and the OBS version and greek characters appear like this:

ParaskevasB (01:00) ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ M-N~QM-NM--M-O~GM-O~DM-NM--M-O~DMM-O~FM-NM-/M-M-O~DM-O~DM-NMM-NM-8M-NM--MM-O~DM-NMM-NM-5M-O~GM-NM-8MM-NM-#M-NM-1M-NM-O~GM-NM-,M-M-O~DM-NM-1-O~CM- NMM-NM-3M-NM-5M-NM-M-O~DM-@PrimeMinisterGR.9M-NM-'M-O~AM-M-O~@M-NM-?M-O~CM-O~M-O~@M-O~AM-O~IM-NM-8M-O~EMM-NM-<M-NM-1M-O~BO~AM-NM-3M-NM-,M-O~AM-NM-1

Any ideas?

Hi,

I'm not sure where does this come from, witch term do you use ? I just tried and it works for me: http://pix.toile-libre.org/?img=1308180061.png So my first guess would be the terminal, but i'm not sure (i'm using urxvt)

Hi, Nic0 - thanks for the quick reply :)

I am using Konsole as terminal in openSUSE 11.4 (KDE 4) and the encoding is set to Unicode > UTF-8. AFAIK, Konsole works okay with Greek characters and encoding. I can write greek charactes in filenames and read folders with greek filenames. And other ncurses programs, like lynx, display Greek nicely:

But, Tyrs displays strange characters instead of Greek:

Any other ideas?

Seems a bug from Tyrs so, an ugly one... I'm not sure where does this one come from, and I can't think of a quick fix for it now. I'll try if I find anything about it, I'll do my best

Thanks for repporting the bug anyway

Should be fixes with the latest release, and the new UI.
