Hi Vitaliy,

On 2024-03-22 09:38:52, I wrote to you:

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

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

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

 WvV> The two High ascii characters in the marked area are:

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

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

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

Btw: My terminal seems fine with displaying the CP850 high ascii characters
(despite the warning):

Bye, Wilfred.
