hnb (a console tool for organizing things) does not display special chars like umlauts 
Comment 1 Lothar Krause 2004-10-02 09:56:51 UTC
hnb (a console tool for organizing things) does not display special chars like umlauts üöä correctly, when run in an X terminal. This works correctly on the console.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge and start hnb
2. enter an u diaeresis ü or some other special char

Actual Results:  
the offending character is ignored

Expected Results:  
the character should be shown

This happens in all of the following X terminals: xterm, aterm, rxvt and
gnome-terminal. 

Since hnb broke after an update not related to hnb itself it is likely that the
error really resides in ncurses or in the interaction between the two:

ldd for hnb: 
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libncursesw.so.5 => /lib/libncursesw.so.5 (0x40027000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4006e000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

Alec needs to follow his own friggin guidelines; adding maintainer-needed to cc.
Comment 5 Christian Berendt 2006-11-22 04:35:28 UTC
No errors with version 1.9.18 and I'm still using this program, even if it's some days old. So I think it should stand in the portage.

Does this bug affect 1.9.18?
