Gnochm doesn't display russian text correctly

[Viktor Kazakov]

Binary package hint: gnochm

Just open a .chm file with russian text (may also try another non-english locale).

By the way, how to attach files to the bug report?

[Viktor Kazakov (kvs16)]

OK, I see how to attach :)

[Kolay (topofal)]

I can see the same problem. Unable to change Character Encoding in Gnochm.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 beta or later?

[Viktor Kazakov (kvs16)]

I didn't install beta. I'll wait for the official version and then tell you if it is still an issue or not.

[Anatoly Galiulin (vega-nsk)]

This issue is still present in official 8.10.

Problem in /usr/bin/gnochm, in function repl_entities(text):

subs = entitydefs[match.group("str")].decode(
                    'latin-1').encode('utf-8')

Perhaps it needs default encoding setting that user may set in preferences?

[Viktor Kazakov (kvs16)]

Still reproduces in 9.04.

[Viktor Kazakov (kvs16)]

Yes, for sure, the encoding setting should be present in preferences.
