German characters not displayed
« on: July 13, 2005, 05:53:06 PM »
I´m using the latest aMule 2.0.3 on SuSE 9.3
The language is set to german, however special german "umlauts" like "ö" are displayed as 2 characters (I think this has something to do with UTF-8). As they are used often it really messes up the GUI.
How could this be resolved?

problem is that current aMule-2.0.3 is linked against gtk1 which does not support utf8

so you could remove wxGTK and amule and

compile wxGTK-2.6.1 with gtk2 and unicode support and then recompile aMule

you will have your umlauts back ;)

Cool, thanks for your help.
Just for interest, my wxGTK is 2.6.0. Isn´t it compiled by default with support for GTK2 (since GTK 1 is so old)?

nope deltaHF compiled them with gtk1 support because gtk2 has some mem leaks and higher cpu usage
