They (glibc2 (not Linux!) developers) uses small hack - "codeset name mangling" for IANA charset alises support. They translates all to lowercase and removes all "-", "_" e.t.c. So, ALL forms of ISO* charset names goes into "iso88591" e.t.c. Try "locale -a" on any Glibc2 based system (Linux as example ;-). Unfortunately, this hack does not work with real aliases, f.e. "CP-866" .vs. "IBM-866" or "CP1251" .vs. "Windows-1251" -- -=AV=- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-i18n" in the body of the message
