Description Nicolas Salguero 2014-10-28 10:18:31 CET

Created attachment 5547 [details]
Patch add support for UTF-8 to xscreensaver

Hi,

Bug 14380 has been closed with status "RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 14194" but it described another problem: utf-8 support for xscreensaver. So I create another bug report to isolate the second problem.

The attached patch is borrowed from: http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=19009. Alex, with this patch, and after having removed $HOME/.xscreensaver, have you ever the problem?

Regards.

Nico.

Hello, Nicolas,
No result.

Hi,

I think this bug is the same as bug 11743 and I think the problem is in the code of xscreensaver: the function XDrawString is used but it should be replaced by function Xutf8DrawString in our case because i18n messages from Linux-PAM.mo, for example, are UTF-8 encoded.

Regards.

Nico.

Yes, it's the same issue. Better to write patch and send to upstream.
Nicolas, will you try?
