Thanks for reporting this. These problems are now being tracked in sourceforge, here:
Re: gnochm cannot read arabic .CHM files
I just tried gnochm-0.9.3, with this configuration:
gnome-python-2.0.0,
pychm-0.8.1,
pygtk-2.2.0,
pyorbit-2.0.0,
libgtkhtml-3.1,
1] When I ran: gnochm
here's the what it gave me in the terminal window:
Use of deprecated SAXv1 function endElement
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/gnochm", line 1551, in ?
inst.open_file(args[i])
File "/usr/local/bin/gnochm", line 1181, in open_file
if self.request_file(self.chmfiles[-1].chmfile.home):
File "/usr/local/bin/gnochm", line 1060, in request_file
f, pathname, flink = self.internal_request_file(link)
File "/usr/local/bin/gnochm", line 1047, in
internal_request_file
pref2 = string.split(pref1, '_')[0]
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/string.py", line 121, in split
return s.split(sep, maxsplit)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'
and it crashed.
2] When I ran: gnochm, then I opened the arabic CHM file from the File menu, it did NOT crash. The main pane was empty (saying Loading...), yet in the contents pane, it did display the contents, but in wierd character set. (ie. not arabic characters)

Re: gnochm cannot read arabic .CHM files
Hi,
Unfortunately, the rendering problem in the body window is a gtkhtml2 issue, so it has to be raised at bugzilla.gnome.org/.
About the content pane, could you point me to a file that fails?
Thanks
Re: gnochm cannot read arabic .CHM files
gnochm 0.9.2, pychm-0.8.0, libgtkhtml2-2.6.2.
distro: Mandrake 10
Yes I compiled by myself.
I tried an english CHM file, it was just fine.
Here's what I get when I start gnochm (before
opening any file):
** (gnochm:4431): WARNING **: `GtkTextSearchFlags'
is not an enum type
Here's what I get when I open any CHM file (english
or arabic):
Use of deprecated SAXv1 function endElement
When the gnochm freezes I press CTRL+C in terminal
window, and I got the following:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/gnochm", line 1208, in
on_open_activate
self.open_file(filename)
File "/usr/local/bin/gnochm", line 1144, in
open_file
self.update_notebook(chmfile)
File "/usr/local/bin/gnochm", line 1058, in
update_notebook
topics = self.to_utf8(chmfile.GetTopicsTree())
File "/usr/local/bin/gnochm", line 811, in
to_utf8
return self.repl_entities(result)
File "/usr/local/bin/gnochm", line 788, in
repl_entities
ent = text[match.start(0): match.end(0)]
KeyboardInterrupt
When I press CTRL+C again, I get this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/gnochm", line 1525, in ?
gtk.main()
KeyboardInterrupt
Then the gnochm is closed.
Here's a sample CHM file, that I just found now:
The contents page is in english, but the other
pages are in arabic. I just tried to open it, it
did open. But it looked terrible, the characters
are above each other in each line.
So it seems that the freezing problem is with files
of arabic contents page.

Are you using version 0.9.2 of gnochm and 0.8.0 of pychm?
Did you compile it yourself or used a package?
Which distro are you using?
Are you using gtkhtml2 version 2.6.1 or higher?
Does this problem happen to any file or just the arabic
files?
Can you point me to a file I can download for a test? (you
can send me an email directly - it's in the web page)
If you could run it by doing "gnochm -d " and
then sending me the contents of ~/.gnochm/gnochm.log, that would also be great!
Thanks!
gnochm cannot read arabic .CHM files
When I open an arabic .CHM file, gnochm just
freezes.
Re: gnochm cannot read arabic .CHM files
I think I fixed one of the problems in CVS. As for the problems in the contents tree, I am not sure how to process its contents, as it is not encoded in iso8859_6. Have a look in the bug report for more details.
