bbs.retrocampus.com >> CHATGPT >> accents not displayed properly > a way to simplify it ?

[mamatdunet]

Hi,

What an amazing project that you've made, thank you ! I'm using this card : https://www.tindie.com/products/iodeo/minitel-esp32-dev-board/

On a Minitel and also on http://bbs.retrocampus.com/, the accents (in french like "é", "è", "à", "ù" for example, are not displayed well on chatGPT as you can see on screenshots.

I'm not sure that the Minitel as ever been compatible with accents by the way. So I suggest to fix it, to replace each output with an accent by his equivalent without accent : à > a â > a é > e è > e ê > e î > i ï > i ô > o ù > u û > u ü > u ç > c œ > oe

Would you like to fix this or it's not your priority at all ? 😅

Hi dude! Yes, I am aware of this problem, its resolution is on my TODO list: I have to differentiate ASCII encoding and Minitel encoding. I do appreciate your patience thus far, my goal is to render the characters in the correct way!

[mamatdunet]

Cool ! Thanks a lot for your quick feedback :).

Hi! I just did a fix release. Could you have a try and confirm if it is ok? Thank you!

Hi Francesco,

You’re my hero ! The accents works very well. (See the video here >> https://share.icloud.com/photos/0beHBiEa0IQ4Jig05G2vfGWGQ ).

I am just wondering one thing : in a long ChatGPT answer, the answer can’t fit in just one screen so there is the « — More — » text in the bottom of the screen.

When I press a button to continue to read a long answer (the button « Envoi » (Send), or « Suite » or an arrow…) the text goes forward too much so I miss some… You can see it on the video.

Do i misuse the app («maybe that I press the wrong button ?) or is it a bug ?

Thanks a lot,

Matthieu

Hi, I'm trying to reproduce the problem on an emulator, next week I will have my physical terminal. I ask you: what happens if you press just SPACEBAR to go next page? Does the problem persist?

[mamatdunet]

Hi,

Thank you ! It works perfectly with Space bar ! Maybe it could be useful to indicate on a Minitel like that :

« — More — (Press spacebar) »

A nice feature for Minitel could be to use « Retour » (Previous) button and « Suite » (Next) button to allow users to go the next page and go back to the previous page whenever they want.

(I understand that you don’t focus on Minitel users and that this probably a hobby for you appart from your paid job so that would be a nice to have but the interface is already really simple and efficient 😁)

If you speak french, there is a really good documentary about Minitel History (i don’t have the subtitles, sorry) : https://drive.google.com/file/d/131wo7oSkq45PclpBMOeLoVthuKVCTEId/view?usp=drivesdk

I'm sorry but I don't speak French, but I will look at the documentary, thank you very much :) I fixed something, I ask you to try again using SUITE, ENVOI, ... keys when "MORE" is requested.

Still arrow-keys act like double-scrolling, I'm working on it.

This project started focusing on Commodore 64, but I'm focusing now also on Minitel because I love that kind of object :) Yes, it's not my paid work, patrons like you are supporting the project, so thank you very much!

[mamatdunet]

Thanks !

Suite and Envoi buttons now have the same behaviour than Space bar :).

Congrats.

Have a nice evening ! :)
