I wrote: > [case-sensitive sorting rants & other things] Over all that I forgot to point out why lack of collation support in the UTF-8 locales actually matters anyway. Take for instance the Lithuanian locale: FreeBSD has locale definitions for lt_LT.ISO8859-13, lt_LT.ISO8859-4 and lt_LT.UTF-8. r Lithuanian alphabet: a ą b c č d e ę ė f g h i [...] $ setenv LANG lt_LT.ISO8859-13 $ touch a ą b c č d $ ls a ą b c č d $ rm * $ setenv LANG lt_LT.UTF-8 $ touch a ą b c č d $ ls $ a b c d ą č ^^^ wrong! And that's a rather big oops - at least for Lithuanians. So I don't think you can really recommend everyone to switch their legacy locales to UTF-8 just yet. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org
