Bug #975: ruby curses extension does not support multibyte characters
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/975

Author: Michal Suchanek
Status: Open, Priority: Normal
Category: ext, Target version: 1.9.1 RC2

ncurses supplies a ncursesw library that works as drop-in replacement for the ncurses with added multibyte character support. Just updating the library test enables printing UTF-8 for me.

test (run with ruby -KU) in utf-8 locale:

require 'curses'

test_string = "���"

Curses.init_screen

Curses.addstr test_string

Curses.refresh

Curses.getch

Curses.close_screen

STDOUT.puts test_string
