135580 2006-10-13 13:10:33 +0000 encoding problem in hungarian_expert lecture 2006-11-23 09:54:20 +0000 1 1 2 Applications ktouch general unspecified Compiled Sources Linux RESOLVED FIXED NOR normal --- 0 egmont haavard 0 oldest_to_newest 476553 0 egmont 2006-10-13 13:10:34 +0000 Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Compiled From Sources OS: Linux hungarian_expert.ktouch.xml (the "Hungarian (auto-generated)" lecture) is in wrong encoding. It contains plenty of otilde and ucircumflex characters (which are unused in Hungarian) where it should contain odoubleacute and udoubleacute instead. Hence these characters look only similar to the real one (so they look disgusting), and they cannot be typed from the keyboard using Hungarian layout. The phenomenon is quite typical: someone probably converted an 8-bit text file to UTF-8 assuming ISO-8859-1 as the source charset, which was a wrong assumption, the old-fashioned charset for Hungarian is ISO-8859-2. To fix the file, just convert it from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 and then from ISO-8859-2 to UTF-8, it will be okay. Example: cat hungarian_expert.ktouch.xml | iconv -f utf8 -t latin1 | iconv -f latin2 -t utf8 > new.xml mv new.xml hungarian_expert.ktouch.xml Another way to fix the file is to do a search-replace for the characters mentioned above, as well as for their uppercase counterparts. The title of the lecture says it's an auto-generated file. I don't know how this was generated since words from this file are not found anywhere else in ktouch's source. If the generating script is still available somewhere and there's some chance that it'll be used in the future then this script needs to be fixed too. 489058 1 annma 2006-11-23 09:49:49 +0000 SVN commit 607116 by annma: Fix in 3.5.5 branch encoding of this file following instructions given by Egmont Koblinger in the bug report Thanks a lot Egmont for having investigated and providing the fixe CCBUG=135580 M +138 -138 hungarian_expert.ktouch.xml 489059 2 annma 2006-11-23 09:51:53 +0000 The file is installed as such so even if it is written "auto-generated" I don't think it's the case. 489061 3 annma 2006-11-23 09:54:20 +0000 SVN commit 607117 by annma: forward port of 607116 BUG=135580 M +138 -138 hungarian_expert.ktouch.xml
