Two questions about pgaccess. I use tkl/Tk 8.2, Postgresql 7.1,
FreeBSD 4.0 .


1. I cannot view russian text in russian when I use pgaccess. I set all
the fonts in 'Preferences' to
-cronyx-helvetica-*-*-*-*-17-*-*-*-*-*-koi8-* , but don't see russian
letters in 'tables' and others windows. The texts are really in
russian, DBENCODING is KOI8.

2. How can I manage with 'SQL window'? I can type text, but no
more. How can I send my queries to server?

Thanks to any help.

Hm.  We've had a couple of reports recently that suggest that there's
a character-set-translation problem between Postgres and recent Tcl/Tk
releases --- which seems to describe your problem as well.  I have an
unproven suspicion that this is related to Tcl's changeover to UTF-8
internal representation, because the reports have all come from people
running Tcl 8.2 or later.  But no one's done the work yet to understand
the problem in detail or propose a fix.  Want to dig into it?
