  • Charset aliases tip

    From Wilfred van Velzen@2:280/464 to All on Mon Mar 25 21:45:56 2024
    Hi All,

    I noticed a message in German with '@CHRS: LATIN-1 2' that wasn't displaying correctly, while the CP850 I use has all the characters needed to display the German characters.

    It turned out the XLATCHARSETALIAS lines in the provided charsets.cfg aren't complete. But if the XLATCHARSETALIAS lines from the advanced.cfg are included in my own config, the German messages displayed alright!

    Here they are:

    // This defines charset aliases for import tables.
    //XLATCHARSETALIAS "charset" "alias1" "alias2"...
    ;XLATCHARSETALIAS ISO-11 ISO-8859-11 ISO8859-11
    // Common invalid configurations and different charsets names
    XLATCHARSETALIAS CP437 IBMPC
    XLATCHARSETALIAS CP866 CP-866 +7FIDO +7_FIDO FIDO7 FIDO_7 RUS
    XLATCHARSETALIAS KOI8-R KOI8R KOI KOI8 GOST CP20866
    XLATCHARSETALIAS KOI8-U KOI8U KOU KOI-U CP21866
    XLATCHARSETALIAS ISO8859-1 ISO-8859-1 ISO_8859-1 CP28591 ISO-1 LATIN-1 ISO XLATCHARSETALIAS ISO8859-5 ISO-8859-5 ISO_8859-5 CP28595 ISO-5
    XLATCHARSETALIAS CP1251 CP-1251 WIN WIN-1251 WINDOWS-1251
    XLATCHARSETALIAS CP1125 UKR
    XLATCHARSETALIAS CP10007 MAC-CYRILLIC MAC-RUSSIAN
    XLATCHARSETALIAS CP10017 MAC-UKRAINIAN MAC-UKRAINE


    Bye, Wilfred.
