Description Matthias Bethke 2007-02-09 18:48:01 UTC
TIN needs the configure switch --with-screen=ncursesw to properly support UTF-8, but the ebuild does not supply it. As a consequence, UTF-8 characters that contain bytes outside the Latin family's printable range are screwed up by ncurses.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start tin in a UTF-8 terminal
2. View an article with some German umlauts or the like.
3.

Actual Results:  
ä/ö/ü are fine, Ä/Ö/Ü/ß are broken.

Expected Results:  
All charcters should be displayed correctly.

Simply adding --with-screen=ncursesw to my ebuild fixed the problem here. It should probably depend on the utf8 use flag?

Commited with version bump to 1.8.3.
