diff - meld shows output in unreadable alphabet (Japanese/Chinese?) - Ask Ubuntu


i using meld visualise diff between 2 files. meld shows diff output in... japanese or chinese?

any idea happen? locale issue? strange when using diff or colordiff in terminal, work perfectly!

thanks!

meld shows unreadable output

same problem here: file encoding not correctly detected.

in case due meld's "detect-encodings" settings.

check with:

$ gsettings org.gnome.meld detect-encodings ['utf8'] 

only utf8 detected.

to workaround issue add 'latin1' or whatever encoding file has:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.meld detect-encodings "['utf8','latin1']"
