Try http://sup.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?UTF8. If you're running Sup git, I've made a nice branch for this: $ git branch --track ncursesw origin/ncursesw $ git checkout ncursesw $ cd ncurses-0.9.1/ $ ./run-this-for-sup.sh Which will generate an ncurses.so file in lib/. You can then switch back to master or next and it should pick it up. This should fix many wide-character issues but it won't fix all of them, because there's still no way of determining the display width of a unicode character (e.g. Chinese characters take two columns to display). So the display still ends up funny. Ruby 1.9 has better encoding support but I don't know if it fixes this. -- William <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ sup-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-talk
