Hello,I'm Thai too and using Pidgin for a while, but rarely have the same problem as yours. Sometimes some of my friend send me Thai words and it turn out to be utf-8 garbage. But that occurred rarely to me. Note that, I'm using Tahoma as the font. I've tried Angsana and Phaisarn and it works the same way too. Also, all my locale setting (place/country/regional settings) is all Thai. That might be the problem. Note that right now I'm using Vista ultimate. But I've been using Pidgin on WindowsXP for a long time.
Note that, once I notify my friend that I can't read the text, the usually change font or something and problems goes away. I think this problem depends on client too.
BTW, I think "how are you" should be "สบายดีหรือเปล่า" Patrick Kollitsch wrote:
Hello, I searched in the FAQ on pidgin.im but it seems as if my "problems" never occured somewhere else. I am living in Thailand and use Pidgin to "cover" all used IM protocols here. Most of my Thai friends are using MSN. When they send sentences in Thai to me, I get only garbage displayed (looks like a square with the utf8-code for the Thai sign). I myself am able to send Thai letters and they show up in the input box and the logs above. The font I am using is Verdana, which contains Thai letters (I guess thats proved by sending thai from my side out). Where do I have to search for clues about this problem? Is it Pidgin or GTK? I also did not find any place for settings of encoding. A simple UTF8 should do it, right? Thanks for any help. By the way, these are Thai letters (meaning how are you): สบายดีไม่ หิวข้าวไม่ Thanks Patrick _______________________________________________ Support mailing list Support@pidgin.im http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
