Package: x11-utils
Version: 7.3+2
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n
It seems that xmessage always assumes an 8-bit-per-character or iso-8859
encoding, regardless of locale settings. For instance, running::
python -c 'print u"aix\xf2".encode("utf-8")' | xmessage -file -
or (under an UTF-8 locale)::
echo això | xmessage -file -
shows garbage::
això
while running::
python -c 'print u"aix\xf2".encode("iso-8859-1")' | xmessage -file -
correctly shows::
això
The same occurs when giving the string as a command-line argument.
