Isn`t it time for FreeBSD to fully support Unicode/UTF-8 by now? It is considered to be standard charset by now. XML uses it by default. If you are working with texts in different languages there is no alternative to UTF-8. If you chat with a Linux machine you can easily run into charset troubles if you are still using the old iso-8859-1.
By now it is no problem to activate UTF-8 for your console. However a comprehensive Unicode support would require much more: i.e. configuring all user packages like KDE for Unicode support and asserting that also file names (f.i. from ext2 partitions) are interpreted correctly. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
