UTF8 already supported and automatically enabled. Please provide a screenshot of the encoding settings and a sample of such rectangle box.

for example i write "سلام" utf-8-config utf-8-typed utf-8-entered

meebey commented 8 years ago

I can see "سلام" on #smuxi-devel correctly in my Smuxi instance. So this is probably a font rendering issue... When you type "سلام" into the command box, does that show correctly?

meebey commented 8 years ago

Oh you made a screenshot of the command box and it does not show correctly there, this confirms that the font is unable to render those unicode characters. Try a different font via Preferences -> Interface -> Output -> Font override and then select a font and see if that helps.

worked! so i think is better to change default font to "Arial Unicode MS" or "Arial"? thanks
