    I believe it should be "CP437 2", however Mystic currently does not set this. Still hoping it will in a future release, as it can detect (or ask) the user about this at the beginning of the call, and hence it should be possible for its message editor to set this upon saving the message.

    If there was a "hook" to intercept the entered message (including kludges), this would be probably possible to solve using some scripting and "reasonable" character set auto-detection (and/or conversion), too, but I don't know of any such possibilities, and I don't think there is support for an external editor at present.

    I tried cp850 -> cp866 conversion in GED and it started to show "oe" :-) It's kinda alright, isn't it?

    Hi Michiel,

    I tried cp850 -> cp866 conversion in GED and it started to show
    "oe"
    :-) It's kinda alright, isn't it?

    In German there is a transliteration to replace the 'ö' (o
    diareresis) with 'oe'. But that only works in German. In Dutch and Scandinavian the 'oe' is already "taken" for another vowel.

    Well, at least it's more accurate, unlike that "phi" character that shows without conversion.

    Sorry mate, to have both Cyrillic and Latin with diareses in one and
    the same message you need UTF-8. ;-)

    That's it, I see that you do use the utf-8 charset and simply type/paste the needed character (which on my end shows as 'ö'), nonetheless everyone keeps telling me GED doesn't support utf-8. Does it now, or am doing something wrong? Or does it provide only partial support of European alphabets?

    Golded has very limited support for UTF-8. With the internal editor in my setup it only works for a limited subset of the accented and umlauted European characters. With an extran UTF-8 editor I can do almost anything.

    Cheers, Michiel

    No, I believe some people "borrowed" the source code (back in time when it was actually released to the public), re-branded everything, then claiming it was all their work, which made the author a tad upset.

    Yes, I believe e.g. in passports they use that instead of the special character (o with two dots). =)

    Yep, I forgot you can use an external editor with GED (the option I've
    never actually tried).
