Description Peter Åstrand cendio 2015-04-02 14:39:13 CEST
The About dialog, available from the F8 menu, is displayed incorrectly - using the wrong character encoding. This affects several languages, including Swedish. This problem was not present in 4.3.0. However, I'm unable to find which commit/bug is the cause of the problem. My guess is that it is this upstream commit:

https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/commit/63471c9de0892f32f237c97f081e14f66a2365ab

It got into our tree in r30154, which was unfortunately done without a bug reference. 

When testing this bug, make sure to check both the console printout, as well as the GUI dialog.

r30214.

It is also important that this is tested where the console is not UTF-8.

Looks good.

* Have verified the about dialog on Linux with LANG=fr_FR tlclient
* Have verified the console output on Linux with LANG=fr_FR /opt/thinlinc/lib/tlclient/vncviewer
* Have tested with system locale set to sv_SE.ISO-8859-1 on Linux
* Have verified the about dialog on the windows client with Russian and French
