Cannot start with my preferred encoding

Asked by Björn Róbertsson

Not far from padys request, however, I want to start with ISO-8859-15 (Extended keyboard support, like € EUR symbol). However, I can only start with UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1.
.config/terminator/config contains encoding=ISO-8859-15
but it will still start in ISO-8859-1

It's a onerous task, to manuall go find the bottom of "Other" encodings :)

Regards,
Björn

Which version are you using? With the latest bzr trunk version of Terminator, I am able to set the encoding in the config file and the menu indicates that it is using that encoding.

Ubuntu 9.04 (64 bit), terminator 0.12-2

If I add to .config/terminator/config encoding=ISO-8859-15 then no
encoding is selected and every non-ASCII character is displayed
incorrectly (? mark).

Could you try again with the bzr version please?

bzr branch lp:terminator
cd terminator

Yes, encoding is set now, EUR symbol (€) is displayed (not EUR), can
double-click the title... Excellent.

Fantastic, so then it's either fixed in 0.13, or will be in 0.14 (I think we made some changes in 0.13 so it may well be fixed there already)

My selection of encoding (iso8859-15) is now working with .config/terminator/config options.
