Hey,

new guy here (run a maximus bbs 25 years ago and return as im old :-)

Setting up Mystic on Linux (Debian 11) and running some test if
that BBS system meets my expectations (beautiful pice of software
so far). So I run it atm out the box.

First in CP437 Mode ("Default Code Page" and "Ask Code page" to „CP437“) and access with CP437 Settings (via syncterm, putty, iterm2) everything is working fine and look nice.

Switch to UTF8 (settings on Mystic and in terminal as well)
Still ALL is working fine, looks nice and feels good.

Till I try to type in special Character like ü,ä,ö,§. That Display
on screen as üäö

that happen everywhere. So in Login Screen for name,
in config Mode (path settings), when writing a Massages.
even in texteditor (./mystic -text). even in local Mode

Sound like sending UTF8 TO the BBS is not working
or still expected CP437. As when I switch my UTF8 session to
to CP437 the chars working instantly (but as well well the rest is ugly as
BBS sending in UTF8.

Bug Future ? Only affect me ?

greets from Germany.
marc

Yes this is currently broken. I am planning to reamp and fix this after the
A49 release which will hopefully be soon.

Sorry for the inconvenience

.... My reality check just bounced

Was not easy to find for me bt get it. Same issue.
Setup and Seidig UTF8 will show wrong Chars when echo back.

Also a further test.. it’s only affect higer Ascii. All „7 bit“ ascii work fine as UFT Coding,
bit anything above get back crappy..

so even „§" „µ“ „ß“

Ok, now via a right News Reader and NNTP Carrier. Google Groups seems to
suck as not seen YOUR Answer.

Thanks for reply and that you will take care.
