So I just tried iChat, and it seems to no longer have this problem. Perhaps it was fixed in a version since I stopped using it. Should I still file a trac ticket? Here's how to reproduce it so that you can see what I am talking about: Open the International pane in System Preferences. In the Languag...

I don't use iChat anymore, but if I remember correctly it had the same issue. When you switch back to English input, you are left in the default Chinese font.

I guess the people who hated it were the ones that love to use obnoxious fonts and colors in their IMs. I, on the other hand, need it for a legitimate purpose - communicating in another language. :)

Anyway, could we please get a way to turn it on using a hidden (or not hidden) option?

Font resetting no longer works in 0.85

Whenever I type Chinese in Adium (and other programs) and then switch back to English input, my text is still in a Chinese font, which looks odd. Version 0.82 of Adium added the feature where I could press enter without typing anything to send a 'blank' IM and switch back to the default Helvetica fo...

Now that I think of it, I was wrong before. In order for an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, he would have to switch DH keys as they go from one person to the other. Since the secure IDs are based on the DH keys on both ends, I guess they wouldn't match if a man-in-the-middle listenin...

Then I'm not 100% sure, but I believe verifying the session IDs wouldn't be a secure solution, as if you are unsure of the authenticity of the DSA key (since you haven't verified its fingerprint) then the DH key is possibly not authentic. And the session IDs are generated from the DH key. I think ba...

More specifically, can you point out what in this document corresponds to the secure IDs? Depending on the answer, verifying the secure IDs may or may not be a secure solution.

Good point about being able to tell from the initial 'accept fingerprint' dialogue.. will look into that. Once the OTR chat is established, select "Encryption Details..." from the lock toolbar item and you'll be presented both your secure ID and your contact's purported secure ID... at th...

No interface to find your own OTR public key fingerprint

Whenever initiating an OTR encrypted chat with a buddy for the first time, a dialogue is displayed asking you whether you want to accept their key fingerprint. The idea is that you confirm this with them in person so that you are assured of their identity. That's a great idea, but the problem is tha...
