yekm Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Bug Submission: Category: General Issue Title: linux in-game chat text encoding Issue Description: I've just installed the linux version of DST and joined some russian server. Messages in chat are unreadable. I believe the problem is in text encoding. I run steam from console and I can see the log with chat messages. So I've grabbed some of them and tried to decode: $ echo 'òàì íåäàëåêî îò ïîðòàëà åñòü ÷åðâîòî÷èíà' | iconv -t cp1252 | iconv -f cp1251 там недалеко от портала есть червоточина $ echo 'ïòèö áóìåðàíãîì óáèâàé' | iconv -t cp1252 | iconv -f cp1251 птиц бумерангом убивай Voila! So, windows clients send messages in cp1251, and linux client tries to decode them from cp1252.

yekm Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Ok. Apparenty they use some strange mod like "russian language pack" or something. And maybe it modifies some font glyphs with russian letters. And so it's not your bug, klei.Anyway, I'd rather prefer utf8 and default system font for unknown characters.
