(Becomes: [H$BiL(Bedal].) It suggests to me that iconv is making the wrong assumption on how that character should be encoded. I mention this since there is another thread, "Apple mail", in progress now which seems to be touching on a very similar topic. > I tried with PuTTY 0.58 and the Japanese patch, in EUC-JP > translation (we already know it's not EUC-JP but really the -MS > superset), a LANG=fr_FR.EUC-JP locale, libiconv 1.11 (without Japanese > patch, didn't find one for 1.11), and the MS Gothic font I usually I gave up applying the patch. It was not quite as robust as I originally thought, and turned out to not be useful for my work account that I must use Japanese 99.9% of the time. It's better to just lose a few lines of text and mention to people composing mail on Macs intended for Windows users that they should not use circled numbers, etcetera; vice versa, of course. > choose for CJK ideograms.

I'm using PuTTY on Windows with MS Gothic, and I see the glyphs in $editor. With "Lucida Console", are those double-width glyphs? I wonder if Windows knows to fall back on Lucida Console if the glyph is not available in MS Gothic? > I have to admit it does magical things! :-) How it does that so well > is a mystery to me...
