I think I found how to fix it using Freetype2, but I'm facing another issue on cauldron with the support for cURL which segfaults when populating the server list.

I'll investigate some more, but maybe push a first build with freetype and without cURL to cauldron to check whether this bug is fixed.

Rémi, any news about cURL and Minetest ? Thx

Thanks for the reminder, I'll have another look at it now that the mass rebuilds are done.

The current version in Cauldron has a fix for this bug report, but has no cURL support enabled. If it still segfaults with cURL, I'll try to see how to fix this with upstream.

Finally, I managed to enable cURL support in minetest (and Freetype2, but it was already enabled in previous cauldron packages). Can you check minetest-0.4.10-6.mga5?

I'll do an update for Mageia 4 if you can confirm that everything works fine.

I also pushed minetest-0.4.8-1.3.mga4 to Mageia 4 core/updates_testing with the same changes.

Suggested advisory:
===================

Updated minetest package adds freetype2 and curl support

Minetest in Mageia 4 was built with freetype2 and curl support, resulting for the
former on an incorrect display of non-ascii characters (mga#14054, github#1596),
and for the latter on the impossibility to join public multiplayer servers.

This update fixes this by adding the aforementioned library support. Due to an
issue between the curl features and our system jsoncpp library (github#1793),
this update is also built against minetest's embedded version of jsoncpp.

SRPM and RPM in core/updates_testing:
-----------------------------------
 - minetest-0.4.8-1.3.mga4

CC: (none) => remi
Version: Cauldron => 4
Assignee: remi => qa-bugs
Source RPM: minetest-0.4.10-1.mga5.src.rpm => minetest-0.4.8-1.2.mga4
Whiteboard: MGA4TOO => (none)

Testing procedure: this update should impact both the client "minetest" and the command-line server hosting utility "minetestserver".

* Testing minetest client:
- Launch the client, create a "World" and start it in Singleplayer
- In the "Client" tab, check the "Public Serverlist" box (with the version in Updates, minetest should crash, and with the update candidate, it should display servers)
- Connect to a server and admire what other players have done
- "Server" tab: Create a public or private server using your previously created World. Launch a second instance of minetest, and then in "Client", try to log into this server (address "localhost", port "30000" if you have default parameters).
- "Mods" tab: try to download a mod using the interface to check that curl works (if you can't find it, maybe this feature that I'm seeing in cauldron was not implemented yet in minetest 0.4.8 of this update candidate).
- You can also start the game in another language to check whether characters are displayed fine. Try e.g. "LANGUAGE=cs minetest" and see if you reproduce the issue shown in comment 1.

* Testing minetest server (see minetestserver --help for more info):
- If you created a World named "WorldOfQA", you can do:
minetestserver --port 30000 --worldname "WorldOfQA"
Keep the terminal open.
- In minetest client, join your server with address "0.0.0.0" and port "30000". You should see information about your client logging in in the terminal when minetestserver runs.

Advisory uploaded.

Whiteboard: has_procedure => has_procedure advisory

Testing complete mga4 32

Reproduced both issues. First install locales-cs then minetest. Then when started with "LANGUAGE=cs minetest" it displays the characters as shown in the attachements.

Once the World is started, press escape and choose the go back to the main menu to get to the Client tab.

When selecting the public serverlist checkbox no crash occured until I clicked in the black box where the server list should appear, then..

ERROR[main]: MAINMENU ERROR: LuaError: /usr/share/games/minetest/builtin/mainmenu.lua:445: attempt to index a nil value
ERROR[main]: stack traceback:
ERROR[main]:  /usr/share/games/minetest/builtin/mainmenu.lua:445: in function 'handle_multiplayer_buttons'
ERROR[main]:  /usr/share/games/minetest/builtin/mainmenu.lua:1157: in function </usr/share/games/minetest/builtin/mainmenu.lua:1124>


Confirmed that with the update the characters are displayed correctly and the public server list appears. Followed the rest of the detailed testing procedure. I found I needed to create a 2nd world to use "minetestserver" with or it said it was not available and also then log into it at localhost rather than 0.0.0.0

No issues though.

The same issue on the second notebook (MGA4.1, minetest-0.4.8-1.3.mga4)

Other faults (for tests):
- it is not possible to write to the address line the numbers "4", "7" (it seems to be some features are allocated so, but in the setting of minetest is nothing about), even if EN/CS keyboard is activated and NumLock does not work as well. I think that's a minetest's bug. I did not try v0.4.10 yet.

@claire robinson: thank you for your tests ! But I could not replicate/see the ERRORs same as you...
