The only necessity, in theory, for UTF8 support in the filesystem is that it allows for every character except NULL to occur in filenames. I'm no FFS expert, though.) - System console (Does the system console support UTF8 screen output and/or keystroke conversion? Is UTF8 available as an input encoding on the console? Can I use unicode-based locales?) - X Windows (Can I use an unicode xterm, even when the system console does NOT support unicode?) Thanks in advance Philipp mailto:reichmuth@web.de __________________________ The code was willing / It considered your request / But the chips were weak To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
