Public bug reported: With my current locale, the date is string looks like this: lör apr 26 09:56:22 EEST 2008. The 'ö' here is not displayed well in the Star Wars screensaver. It looks like a typical case of interpreting UTF-8 as something else. The starwars command outputs messages like these:
starwars: font -*-utopia-bold-r-normal-*-*-720-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 does not exist, using -*-times-bold-r-normal-*-180-* starwars: unable to load font "-*-utopia-bold-r-normal-*-*-720-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1", using "-*-times-bold-r-normal-*-240-*" although I doubt they have anything to do with it. ** Affects: xscreensaver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Star Wars screensaver doesn't handle non-ASCII well https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222367 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
