kmuddy-0.8pre4 doesn't show extended ASCII characters. After changing line 920 of ctelnet.cpp from cleandata += QString::fromLocal8Bit (str); to cleandata += QString::fromAscii (str); it does. Is this a locale specific setting? Is there any chance of an optional toggle between Local8Bit and Ascii? I'm probably missing something obvious, I just can't pin it down. Didn't touch the rest of the fromLocal8Bit calls in fear that it could affect telnet negotiation - but would it?

Extended ASCII ... Do I understand it correctly that you use a non-US locale, and are trying to access some MUD using characters found in the extended ASCII for US locale (aka latin1 or ISO 8859-1) ?

That's most likely the case - my locale is GB. With fromLocal8Bit, I don't see any characters at all past #126. I.e. the pound sign, letters with um-lauts, et cetera. As soon as I change that call to fromAscii, all appears fine.
Though I would think that the wrong locale should show something at least - perhaps not the right characters, but not empty spaces/empty boxes (depending on the selected font)? I may be way off here, I'm not a big expert in locate settings, but I hope this describes what I try to do/what I get/what I was expecting to get. And thanks for your prompt response!

Hmm. Well, sounds like we need profile-specific some option to disable locale-aware character conversion. Added to the TODO.

The file is located in the kmuddy/kmuddy dir of the source files. If you don't have them, you can download them here: http://kmuddy.com/files/kmuddy-0.8.tar.gz
(you'll need to re-compile kmuddy after the change for it to take effect - if you need any help with that, let me know)
