Re: help required regarding bug - #436681
Hi,
bug #436681 is already marked as closed, so you can't fix it :)
If you need a another bug you can work on which will propbaly not be
fixed soon by anybody else I would be very happy if you choose #277994
(http://bugs.debian.org/277944).
The package is hnb, which was developed without variable length
character encoding in mind. To fix this bug you need to gain some
skills in C, ncurses, read a bit about Unicode and write a patch for hnb
to be able to display UTF-8. Fixing this is not that easy but it should
be doable for an avarage skilled computer science student.
Reproducing this bug is easy:
1) apt-get install hnb
2) start a terminal
3) start hnb in this terminal
4) type a UTF-8 character and see what happens
hnb needs a simple patch to display a cursor, which will be included in
hnb soon. Drop me a mail if you need that patch.
Thanks,
Carsten
