In FreeBSD 10 or less (like 8.4) the file /usr/src/share/mklocale/ru_RU.KOI8-R.src contains a list of printable characters: PRINT 0x20 - 0x7e 0x80 - 0xff mklocale(1) converted that source file to binary file /usr/share/locale/ru_RU.KOI8-R/LC_CTYPE Apparently, this file is used by iswprint(3) In FreeBSD 11.1 `man mklocale` says "mklocale has been replaced by localedef(1) in FreeBSD 11.0", and list of printable characters for LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.KOI8-R is different, excludes characters in 0x80-0xBF range including 0x9A (non-breaking space). As a consequence, ports mail/mutt14 and editors/aee which use iswprint(3) show garbage (escape sequences) instead of non-breaking space and some other characters. I need to change the binary file /usr/share/locale/ru_RU.KOI8-R/LC_CTYPE but how? I installed FreeBSD 11.1 i386 from memstick.img, downloaded sources. What to feed to localedef(1), where are the source files? Are they /usr/src/tools/tools/locale/etc/common.UTF-8.src and /usr/src/tools/tools/locale/etc/final-maps/map.KOI8-R ? But they seem to not specify which characters are printable.
