2.0.3 and 2.0.4 w/GTK2 haven't been able to properly display "extra" characters. By extra I mean ü or à or ¼ or anything else you'd normally find in the Character Chart. The characters can be input (via that method) with no problem, but when the line is sent out, the extra characters are converted to ?s and display like that to other clients (xchat in Linux and various Win). When Windows (like say, mirc) clients use extra characters they plain old don't show up in xchat, although characters from xchat show up as the ?s in xchat. My two machines with admittedly similar configs display this problem. Both have been ~x86 for some time. xchat works fine on <=2.0.2. Characters work fine in epic when using an xterm with the same anti-aliased font. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect to server and join channel 2. Type a line with some extra characters from the Character Chart or have someone send a similar line to you Actual Results: ?s if sending from xchat, ?s if receiving from an xchat client, no character if receiving from other clients. Expected Results: Showing the actual characters.

i think this is an encoding issue. before you connect to a server, edit the settings for that server and where it says encoding, choose ISO8859-1 or whatever the normal encoding is for you. Otherwise the default will probably be UTF-8.
we haven't heard back at all? maybe if you could demonstrate this on irc sometime on irc.freenode.net? my nick is "liquidx"
NEEDINFO really
