_please_ don't! I still don't use UTF-8 locales at work, because I do a lot of TeX work, and with certain styles, bibtex completely mangles Russian references in UTF-8 encoded files (takes the first _byte_ instead of the first _letter_ as the initial, thus producing invalid UTF-8, e.g., transforms Александр Евгеньевич Патраков to ?.~?.~Патраков [replaced invalid with question marks] instead of А.~Е.~Патраков). Since it is inconvenient to have the majority of documents in the encoding different from that of the locale, I stay with ru_RU.KOI8-R there. I think I am not alone with this bibtex problem. -- Alexander E.
