Unreadable characters in Skype notifications
Borislav Zlatkov
I wasn't sure if this was exactly Growl issue, but I'll ask anyway,
hoping you'll forgive me if I am mistaken.
The problem I am faced with, is that the notifications of incoming
chat messages I get from Skype, contains unreadable characters. The
messages themselves are written in cyrillic, the same goes for all my
contact names.
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x64, if that is of importance, and the
latest version of both Skype and Growl. No other apps for Growl
installed.
Can anyone of you point me in the direction of a possible solutions?
Thanks a lot in advance!

its built-in displays (Plain, Standard, Smokestack, Toast, Visor) use
utf-8 and should handle the characters correctly. The underlying GNTP
protocol also uses utf-8, so as long as the sending application is
sending the appropriate characters, then Growl should display them
properly.
One thing you could try is to enable some logging to see what is being
sent from the app. The instructions are here:
http://groups.google.com/group/growl-for-windows/browse_thread/thread/1c17687b801efff0/038d1645921177c3?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=logging#038d1645921177c3
Once you do that, you can see if the log files contain the correct
characters or not. If they do, then the problem is definitely with
Growl or the display being used. If the log files show unreadable
characters, then the problem is upstream, probably with the plugin
that is sending the notifications from Skype.
Try that out and let me know what you find.
