Seems like random unicode support. :) - Some messages are parsed as unicode while others are not. The fontsize problem might be a DPI issue. Screen DPI not being taken into account when sizing the font? Printing KSpread sheets also produces much larger fonts than shown on screen.
I can confirm this. It seems that if the remote party sends latin-1, Kopete/ IRC shows it fine. If the remote party sends unicode (xchat, ksirc), it does not show up correctly, looking like any application that does not implement unicode.
Do you mean the other party is sending unicode type messages in xchat? Like with special caracters? Because messages from XChat appear fine to me.

This is partially resolved in CVS. As long as the conversation is using UTF-8 everything will be a-ok. Best we can do until I can add a per-conversation text codec selector, but that will have to wait until after 3.2 or in the make_it_cool branch
Resolved in make_it_cool IRC branch. (Post 3.2 fixes)

The fix proposed in make_it_cool branch is unacceptable for a nonlatin1 user. On irc one has no influence on the charset that the users are using. Even if i set it to iso8859-2 i still wont see a message with cp-1250 chars in it and some user might write them. The fact that those messages wont be displayed is a sever bug, what if sth. important was in them? The fact that some irc messages wont be displayed kinda disqualifies kopete as an irc client for nonlatin users... Maybe reopen?
The code in make_it_cool is not a prooposed fix, it is *the* only way to support multiple charsets in IRC. There is no charset sent with the message, the channel, or the server, with the IRC protocol. The user has to set it in their client. It's not a "server bug", it's simply not a part of the IRC protocol at all. This is the way *all* IRC clients behave, period. With some clients, you *can* read the text even if it isn't in your chosen codec, because by luck it is readable in your set codec. However, this is never guarneteed to work in any client, and in fact, does usually fail. Unless you submit a new RFC to the IETF and get it accepted and implimented across the major networks, this behaviour isn't going to change.
