I can probably use the UTF-8 compatible xterm that comes with XFree86 4.0.3 and higher with unicode-enabled fonts without problems; the interesting things start with system interaction. Does anyone know if and how I can enable UTF-8 as input/output encoding in the system console? Can I use UTF-8 encoded filenames? (NULL never occurs in UTF-8 strings, but I'm no FFS expert, so I don't know what other obstacles there might be.) The ultimate goal is to have a system that is completely Unicode-based, so that I'll never have to worry about character encodings and writing systems again. On another note, due to frequent power cuts where I'm living at the moment I really hate the age-long fscks on the server with the occasional data loss involved. Can I use a journaling filesystem with BSD? Thanks in advance Philipp mailto:reichmuth@web.de __________________________ Miten tämä vaikuttaa? - Tappaa.
