2014-05-15 16:57:17 Alexander Safronov summary Window titles look incorrect if LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.KOI8-R In Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Window titles look incorrect if LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.KOI8-R
2014-05-15 16:57:17 Alexander Safronov description If LC_CTYPE is put to ru_RU.KOI8-R in /etc/default/locale the Russian coded window titles look incorrect (with rectangles instead of the letters). In other places KOI8-r encoded text is displayed correctly. At the same time Ubuntu 12.04 works correctly with LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.KOI8-R". Content of my /etc/default/locale is shown below: LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" GDM_LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.KOI8-R" LC_COLLATE="ru_RU.KOI8-R" Resolution of this bug is important because some users and firms in Russia have numerous texts coded with KOI8-R and CP1251 (two language) encodings. Recoding of these texts to UTF-8 would cause 2 times increasing of required disk space because in UTF-8 each Russian character takes two bytes while in CP1251 and KOI8-R it takes only one byte.
