Description Udo 2005-07-04 13:44:27 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.5 20040809) 
OS:                Linux

I am using SuSE 9.2 with all YAST updates and KDE 3.4.1.
My system locale LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, 
in konqueror kyrillic characters are displayed correctly.

Since KDE 3.4.0 I observed, that some other applications 
cannot display kyrillic characters. For example:
Junk only is displayed for the song titles when I "cddb" some
Russian CD (in grip, kscd, k3b).

Additional information: dvd::rip cannot display the German umlaute.
Google did not help...

Can you give us an example? What font are you using?

What do you see: Москва ?

I think this is the proper place.

Comment 4 Richard Lärkäng 2005-07-07 14:32:42 UTC

Yeah, I see it here too, the problem is that it is encoded in CP1251 which isn't really supported by freedb.org (only iso-8859-1 and utf8 is).

I have some code for kscd and kaudiocreator for changing the encoding manually, which I will put in svn soon. I guess I could add something similar to the audiocd ioslave. In that case it would be something like adding "?encoding=CP1251" to the end of the url, so it would still be a bit messy :-(

Richard, was your code integrated into kscd or kaudiocreator?

Comment 6 Richard Lärkäng 2007-07-28 11:55:54 UTC

Yes, it's integrated in both KsCD and KAudiocreator. It's the "Change Encoding" button in the cd-info dialog. It looks like it was integrated from KDE 3.5.0.

What about audiocd ioslave?  See bug 142337.

Comment 8 Richard Lärkäng 2007-08-20 23:34:04 UTC

No, nothing for the audiocd ioslave yet, that's why the bug is still open. And I'm not really sure what to do about it since the ioslave doesn't really have an UI to do anything.
