[KOPETE 0.12b 2] Scandinavian letters

This may be stupid question and I am newbie.

Using FC5, I don't see scandinavian letters in chat windows.

How can change my font that it would show scandinavian letters?

Fonts can be changed in the Kopete settings: Settings->Configure Kopete->Appearance->Colors & Fonts .

But are you able to type Scandinavian characters in other apps? Else we have to look at a lower level.

* Scandinavian characters doesn't work on Kopete's chat window, when I read other's text on ICQ (receiived text).
* Scandivian characters works when I write text on ICQ (and send my own text to other person).
* Scandinavian characters works in MSN (read and write, just tested)
* Scandianvian characters works in Colors & Fonts -> Choose -> Font test view. (Default text: "The Quick Brown Fox....")

Perhaps you need to set the correct encoding for your contacts on ICQ. There are two ways to do this:

1. Edit your own ICQ account. Choose the tab "Account Preferences", there you should find an option to set the default encoding.
2. You may choose a different encoding for every single ICQ contact on your contactlist. Open the context menu (right click on the ICQ contact) and then choose "Select encoding".

Perhaps this solves your problem.

Yep. It should solve, but at the moment I cannot choose that encoding for messages, because I probably have one chance there (Big5).

I guess there is encoding plugins somewhere?

Probably you two are using different versions of Kopete.

I just installed Kopete 0.12 beta2 (which you are using), and I saw that this version of Kopete does not offer the option to change the default ecnoding for ICQ. But it seems to offer changing the encoding per contact (via the context menu). Perhaps you should try doing this and then upgrade to a current svn version of Kopete, if changing the encoding solves your problem.

More information may be found at http://kopete.kde.org/svnaccess.php
There you should follow the link to
"Experimental 3.5 Development branch (dev-0.12)"

Edit: There are no "encoding plugins" for Kopete, it's there by default, but the functionality depends on the version you are using.
