UTF-8: russian characters not rendered correctly

rblampain · 07-16-2010, 08:40 AM

Copy and paste (from the Internet) of Russian text worked correctly in "gedit" but when I read and print (with a yabasic program) the file that contains this text, a few Russian characters are changed.

Can anyone give a hint on what may be happening, or what to look for, I do not know Russian.

Thank you for your help.

You have us all curious. Why do you want to set up Russian characters if you can't read it?

google for 'alexander e patrakov site:linuxfromscratch.org' as he has written up much on the business. He's written it in ENGLISH too.

Sometime, one needs to set up a web site in various languages, this problem I have is not important since the (Russian) encoding does not change, it is only treated differently by various applications (gedit, yabasic) but I was hoping to learn something if someone else had that experience.

Thank you for the link.
