swedish character Å #38

Closed suedi closed 8 years ago

suedi commented 9 years ago

I have tried different text encodings but cannot get swedish character Å to work in altyo

The other special swedish characters work fine that is Ä and Ö works fine.

This is not a problem since I don't remember any situation yet where I had a need to use that character in terminal.

So this is more to give you the information about it.

i believe with UTF-8 it should working fine. UTF-8 is default standard encoding for linux.

suedi commented 9 years ago

Yeah it solves it but when I slip on the keys there sometimes, quiet often, becomes garbled characters with UTF-8

The command looks visually OK but when it's executed it fails showing that there was some garbage characters in command.

Felt it happen less often with other encodings.

comment?

hmm, altyo use standard terminal library from gnome project - libvte so all standard input methods should working fine there is more about input method https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.6/i18n-ibus.html.en also you may search for problems with input method for your language for linux. it should be typical problem if it really exist.

Swedish user here. Tried and tested(arch AUR, 0.4_rc12.1.r16.g777b7ad-1) both input and output on UTF-8. Works fine for me. If you need more information about my environment, feel free to ask!
