Description Michał Bartoszkiewicz 2014-05-06 22:03:25 UTC

dev-vcs/tig-2.0.1 seems to have some trouble displaying UTF-8 characters.
E.g. my first name (Michał) is displayed as "MichaM-E~B".

It probably is related to the fact that the tig binary is linked with libncurses and not libncursesw:
# ldd =tig
	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffe59ff000)
	libreadline.so.6 => /lib64/libreadline.so.6 (0x00007f31cf273000)
	libncurses.so.5 => /lib64/libncurses.so.5 (0x00007f31cf020000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f31cec80000)
	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f31cf4bc000)

Reproducible: Always
