Summary: The Russian keyboard should use the windows-1251 codepage Product: Wine Version: 20020904 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-x11driver AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.com ReportedBy: akrioukov@newmail.ru
I use wine in Russian language environment, and I can see, that it uses windows-1251 as a default Russian encoding. Of course, it is correct, since Windows applications usually should work with the windows codepage. Even in Linux windows-1251 becames more and more popular, since it is really better, than traditionally used koi8.
But the Cyrillic X11 keysyms, which I input from my keyboard, are recognized by wine as koi8, and it is strange, since, I think, the keyboard encoding should match the encoding used for screen. So I recommend to change 20866 to 1251 at least for one Russian keyboard described in the file keyboard.c (there are 3 Russian keyboards in this file).
