Public bug reported: Attempting to set the default encoding to KSC in .zhconrc or /etc/zhcon.conf fails and actually sets the encoding to GBK. Here's the relevant config file line:
defaultencode = ksc Also any attempt to use --utf8 with KSC or JIS fails since iconv does not know those charset names; rather, it calls JIS "EUC-JP" and KSC "EUC-KR". This behavior was seen in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with zhcon version 1:0.2.6-8 on architecture amd64, but I believe the problem has been present for years on all architectures. Hopefully fixing this will make Ubuntu more viable in the subset of Japanese and Korean applications where an fbcon-analogue with double- byte semantics is desirable. Please find a patch attached. ** Affects: zhcon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: console dbcs i18n japanese korean utf-8 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998612 Title: zhcon KSC and JIS support somewhat broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zhcon/+bug/998612/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
