I want to set up charsets on my Etch system to have some reasonable compromise between 'modern' and 'works for me'. I have, from time to time, attempted to copy advice offered on email lists with mixed results. I want to try again because recovering from my last failure left my computer in a state where man pages and emails, read in mutt, contain strings like '—' . Based on past experience, I pretty sure that I can make these disappear, but in the process some other, undesireable artifacts with arise.
Where is there an up-to-date tutorial for controlling and fixing charset stuff? Details of my situation: mutt for email emacs and vim for editing iceweasel gnome-terminal gnome desktop, but really only to run gnome-terminal Once upon a time my system was pure Etch. Now it is Etch with garbage left over from failed attempts to solve this issue. I think I need help particularly with clearing out this garbage.
