The fact that nvi (does not) displays diacritic characters has nothing
to do with the fonts, just to what isprint() returns. I had it work
under Linux using a Slackware 3.0 distribution.
Doing a little test:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <locale.h>
main() {
int c;
setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
while ((c = getchar()) != EOF) {
if (c == '\n') continue;
printf("0x%02d: %d\n", c, isprint(c));
}
}
typing diacritic characters tells they are not printable with LANG set
to ISO-8859-1 :-( Is it a bug in the libc5 used with 1.1? A bug with
me? In any case, it's annoying...
