The problem is known to affect the DE version but probably affects all versions that have non-standard characters. The problem lies with the way links (to be precise, the links1 port 0.98,1) renders characters like the German umlaut characters. Even though it is set to the ISO-8859-1 charset (which contains the umlauts), links will create the base vowel followed by a ':' in the output. There is even one example in the english version of the release notes for 4.7: The sgml source proc-i386.html contains the words "The AMD Élan SC520 embedded processor is supported". This is transformed into 'The AMD Elan SC520...' within HARDWARE.TXT as found on ftp.freebsd.org. Which means that the french version of the documentation is probably also affected. Any ideas how to solve this problem? For the time being, we've gone back to w3m in order to create the German text files. /s/Udo -- Ich will keinen erzieherischen Wert, ich will Tote.
