Bad display of cyrillic characters

[jpcima]

@Wohlstand has reported the files with cyrillic characters as displaying incorrectly. The locale used was ru_RU.UTF-8. I couldn't reproduce it.

Any non-ASCII, the same fails with Japanese:

Please check if it does same with a PREFER_PDCURSES=ON build, to verify if problem is terminal related.

[Wohlstand]

With PDCurses is same: The fact, this happens at my job PC but doesn't happen at my home, however, It was at my home also until some moment... (with no-PDCurses build)

[jpcima]

It's normal that pdcurses doesn't show cyrillic, as it doesn't have the bitmap font for it. What's shown is expected currentbehavior.

But still, it does indicate a thing: it does not translate into these "M-" bizarre char sequences. Is MATE-terminal the terminal emulator used?

[Wohlstand]

It's not MATE, it's XFCE4's terminal

[Wohlstand]

The same happens with Gnome terminal also. Is that because of ncurses-side setup? Or ncrurses/ncursesw?

[jpcima]

Seems I didn't have more luck reproducing this on XFCE one. Ncurses is supposed to be the ncursesw one.

Hi, I confirm non-wide ncurses as not displaying correct characters. Make sure that it's ncursesw the library linked into adlrt. In CMake, ordinary ncurses is picked as fallback, probably I shouldn't do that.

[Wohlstand]

So, I had that crap even libncursesw5-dev was installed, however, yeah, I have nuked entire "build" folder and I have ran build from scratch, so, the problem has gone, finally! :fox_face:

Great. :+1: :fox_face: In the last commit, I forced linking the wide ncurses versions.
