utf8 is a particular way of encoding unicode. I'd say that the 'unicode' flag would be sufficient, except if for some reason the following bizarre setup were to occur: fooapp has unicode support. fooapp has optional support for the utf-8 encoding which pulls in an additional dependency. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
