Hi Vitaliy,

On 2024-03-14 12:29:14, you wrote to me:

I'm still seeing an issue with some messages in German areas. For instance:

https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/0cc6a7ecd695

Some characters are displayed as '~A', where they should be able to be
displayed in their right form, while others are displayed correctly.

The two High ascii characters in the marked area are:

\x81 ; latin small letter u with diaeresis
\xE1 ; greek small letter beta (here used as german ss)

The last character in the line, an 'e', isn't even displayed, probably because
of the expansion of 1 of the characters to 2 characters.

These characters are the same in CP437 and CP850. So my CP850 terminal should
display them correctly.
It seems to come from Golded itself, or maybe the ncurses library, because it
doesn't matter if I use luit for starting Golded or not, or running it in my
remote putty terminal, or my local konsole terminal. The \x81 character is
always displayed as ~A ... Strange!?


Bye, Wilfred.
