Re: Hardstatus and UTF-8 NFD

[Xavier Guérin]

Thank you for your answer. I gave a shot to the latest git version, and I'm sorry to say that it is actually worse.

With my current version, the characters present after the decomposed UTF8 characters are simply not displayed.

With the git version, it seems that the hardstatus actually crashes when given a NFD sequence.

The solution I found is to normalize a given UTF8 into a NFS compatible sequence. Here is a small python script that does the job:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys

import unicodedata

if len(sys.argv) == 2:

  name = unicodedata.normalize('NFC', unicode(sys.argv[1], 'utf-8')).encode('utf-8')  print name

Maybe this can be of some help for you guys.

Hi list,

I'm using GNU screen on OSX and I use the hardstatus to display PWD. As a french speaker, I happen to have files containing accented characters, which name happens to be encoded using UTF-8 NFD (decomposed form).

As a result, PWD is not correctly displayed on my hardstatus. Do you know if this is an expected behavior, and if there is any circumvention to my issue ?

Displaying utf-8 characters in the hardstatus in utf-8 locale was
problematic. There is a 'fix' for it in the current git version at
https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=screen

Cheers,
Sadrul
