That's something. Thanks for doing that.

Anything I can do to help out.

Have you tried to run it in local terminal emulator? Do you have any GUI on
that computer?

It's a headless Linux VM on my ESXi server. No GUI. But I was able to test two methods besides PuTTY.

1) I logged in to my VMWare ESXi web interface, and opened the VM in a window there.

2) My main PC with Windows 11, command prompt > ssh via command line.

Both options show basically the same results, except I'd guess the VMware window is probably pretty basic and the font may not support all of the characters.

VMWare:

Windows command prompt:

Putty may be pain in the ass to configure correctly.

Seems pretty similar to the other methods I was able to try.

Would be cool if you may share your config and message base with message containing pseudo-graphics for me to play with. If I reproduce it internally - then I may find the cause very quickly! By config I mean not only golded.cfg, but all included files, including charset tables.

Sure. I will netmail you a link to the zip file. You will most likely have the directory structure in the config to make things work, but otherwise all pertinent information should be there.

Are you referring to having these issues with a version from 2018? If
so, I would suggest you upgrade to the latest version and see if you
have any of the same issues you have now.

Just did and same result (= same issues).

If that is the case, and you have the sources, try including
'golded-plus/cfgs/config/charsets.cfg' in your golded.conf and
see if that helps or not.

Already have that since ever.

For that group I have:

GROUP B
XLATPATH /home/fido/golded/xlat
XLATCHARSET CP437 LATIN-2 asc_il2.chs
XLATCHARSET LATIN-2 CP437 il2_asc.chs
XLATIMPORT CP437
XLATIMPORT CP437
XLATLOCALSET LATIN-2
MSGLISTWIDESUBJ YES
ENDGROUP

Using UTF-8 in putty, having LANG=cs_CZ.utf8 in bash, startin golded:
luit -encoding 'ISO-8859-2' ./gedlnx -f

(because GROUP A we have ISO-8859-2 as agreed coding)

As I wrote, I have issue in GROUP B, GOLDED here...

OK. Your case is actually simpler than I thought. You should have zero issues with pseudo-graphics.

Try to set LANG to cs_CZ.ISO8859-2 and that will solve your issue! No need to set it for the whole system. Just for golded session.

$ LANG=cs_CZ.ISO8859-2 luit -encoding 'ISO-8859-2' ./gedlnx -f

Your problem is that luit converts symbols from 8859-2 to UTF, but ncurses tries to work in UTF-8 mode because you have LANG=cs_CZ.utf8.

In my case I have separate session in Putty with KOI8-R. And run golded like this:

LANG=ru_RU.koi8r gedlnx -C<myconfig>

And have no issues with pseudo-graphics. But luit works too, just tried it.

Are you using the wrong translation table? I think you should be using cp437 -> il2, rather than ascii -> il2.

Most probably he does because it works for him prior to my last changes. So I assume that text conversion performed correctly.

By his previous messages, I'm led to believe his hasn't been working
properly for awhile.

You might want to try iso-8859-2 in PuTTY, also, rather than UTF-8.
Then try the command line that Vitaliy recommended to use?

Just tested. No improvement for GOLDED, even worse in shell.

xlatcharset cp437 utf-8 437_u8.chs

If that .chs file isn't in your xlat directory, I believe you can grab
it from Golded sources on github.

Got that file, included into golded.cfg - for UTF-8. No improvement.

I also played with EDITREPLYRE, but also no change.

As it is about 4 characters, I think is bug in golded related to "Re: ". I have no issue with other messages (even using local czech characters, including quoting). In total I see everything OK, except few messages in International echos.

E.g. replying to you - you can see Subj. is OK.
