https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=257905 --- Comment #3 from Jörg Schilling <schily@schily.net> --- If you setup a correct locale or use better software, this problem does not exist. The files are using the central Europe standard encoding ISO8859-1 that is using an encoding that is identical to the low 8 bits of UNICODE. The problem is UTF-8 software with insufficient behavior. If you e.g use a better pager software (like the pager "p" from the schilytools), it will correctly display my name. If your pager does not do that correctly, did you consider making a bug report against that pager? BTW: Similar support could be added to the rendering machines in e.g. xterm. Another way to deal with your locale rendering problem would be to install *.mo files. If you would help with creating translation files, I would be willing to add gettext() support to the tools that do not yet have it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
