Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.0) Installed from: RedHat RPMs OS: Linux Hello - this is somewhat similar to Bug 70639, ie the encoding of foreign fonts is not working correctly - in my case, it's cyrillic. *However*, the problem is that in kopete 0.8.4 everything was OK, "foreign" fonts were rendered correctly. In 0.9.0 they come OK in the contact list - I have names in Cyrillic, Hebrew and Greek - however it the messages the encoding is not set OK. I am using UTF-8 as a "standard" font in my computer, and obviously people are writing to me in other fonts. Probably you changed something from 0.8.4 to 0.9.0 which was working correctly... FLAVIO
Hello - just tried setting the individual preferences for ICQ to give the contacts a custom encoding. Also not working, cyrillic always comes incorrect...
OK, here's further information on this bug - it's worse than you would think, because ICQ no longer works OK: all contacts on ICQ get "cannot determine contact status". This happens both with your newest Kopete included in kdenetwork 3.3 *AND* the CVS version. I replaced kdenetwork 3.3 with 3.2.3 (which provides Kopete 0.8.4) and everything was fine. Pity, though, because 0.9.0 had some new interesting features. Anyway, 0.9.0 would not give the proper encoding on ICQ, would not give the correct status of the contacts and would not even allow me to retrieve my own data from the server. It seems as if someone placed on 0.9.0 the old plugin from the pre-0.8.4 version.
Hello - just tried binaries from other kdenetwork distributions. ICQ is not working on any kopete binary - tried Redhat and SuSE
I'm having nearly the same problem with some german characters from other Kopete users with UTF-8 encoding. I'm using Kopete from KDE 3.3.3 on Fedora Core 2. Tried to change the font but that doesn't work either. Unfortunately you can't set the encoding for the user to Unicode. The problem doesn't occur with people using ISO-Encoding.

Found out new source of trouble. Kopete cannot read properly the status of ICQ contacts - if you happen to be upgrading from kopete 0.8.4 (as in my case). ICQ contacts come correctly ONLY if you delete/rename the .kopete file and then readd all manually. However, encodings are STILL incorrectly rendered...
*** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. ***
When the bug will be corrected??
Probably shortly after someone figures out how to correct it.

I have the same problem on Fedora Core 3 + kopete-0.9.1 (KDE-3.3.1 from kde-redhat.sf.net) with Russian characters: I can see perfectly what I'm typing, everybody receives my messages in correct encoding, but I'm unable to read replies - looks like they are converted to iso8859-1 encoding, I receive Latin letters instead of Cyrillic :-( This is happening with ICQ. System locale is en_US.UTF-8.
*** Bug 93772 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I can confirm this - I am using Gentoo and KDE 3.3.1. Does anyone have a clue concerning this issue? This bug is very annoying.
I had a look at the sources. The file kopete/protocols/oscar/oscarsocket/oscarsocket.icq.cpp has some comments like "//TODO: encoding" But the functions in that file only send data, so problem probably isn't there. The second interesting place is in the file kopete/kopete/chatwindow/chatview.cpp (line 197). I have a crazy idea: what if the encoding of the chat window is set incorrectly? I am not a great programmer, so this is just a guess.
i would guess that if the encoding of the chatwindow isn't set to utf-8, then it's probably incorrect, but this is just a guess.

It's been mentioned LICQ treats encoding fine (LICQ 1.3.0 on SuSE 9.2 does, at least). I'm currently confined to running both Kopete (0.9.0 on KDE 3.3.0 from SuSE 9.2 RPMs) for non-ICQ contacts and LICQ for ICQ ones to have proper encoding... is there any roadmap, any ideas on when this bug might get looked at? :(
I can only say that for example SIM ICQ/Jabber client handles codepages just fine (at least with russian language). Had to use it now and futher until Kopete is fixed. You can find SIM at http://sim-icq.sourceforge.net/ // wbr

CVS commit by mattr: Merge the oscar_rewrite branch into HEAD. There are a ton of changes here and while i'm not going to go over them one by one, here's a brief overview of some of the things that have changed. - Delayed contact creation. Contacts aren't created on the kopete list until we get a confirmation back from the server that they were added correctly. - Timestamps of received offline messages are correct now (#45751) - Hopefully, many many encoding problems with message receiving are fixed (#88033, #97116, #43701) - Contacts that require authorization are now marked by a red 'X' over their icon. - Asking for and getting contact list authorization should be much more user friendly. - All the reported crashes (except for two dealing with ICQ RTF) are fixed - Contact list handling in general should be more robust. All in all, there are just a ton of changes and hopefully, your AIM and ICQ experience within kopete should become more enjoyable.

The bug was not fixed, reopen it please
This bug still exists in KOpete 0.10 / KDE 3.4
I do have this bug. kopete --version Qt: 3.3.4 KDE: 3.3.2 Kopete: 0.9.2
This bug is still there. This bug is the only thing that makes me use Sim instead of Kopete. Please, fix this bug! :) kopete --version Qt: 3.3.3 KDE: 3.4.1 Kopete: 0.10.2
Please reopen this bug. It still there.
Indeed - I think as well that this bug is still present and should be reopen :-(
Created attachment 12702 [details] A temporary workaround patch for Russian-language users I am attaching a patch (which works against Kopete in kdenetwork 3.4.1 and 3.4.2) that helps this problem for Russian-language users at least in many cases. Please note that this is a crude hack, which assumes that any message not in Unicode is in Russian CP1251 encoding. As such, it is not meant for inclusion in official Kopete. But this works for me an may help others. A real solution may work along these lines, but instead of hard-coding CP1251 encoding name, would use contact or global default encoding. Users of other encodings may benefit from this patch if they replace "CP1251" with the name of their favorite encoding. Comments welcome.
