https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D257905 --- Comment #11 from J=C3=B6rg Schilling <schily@schily.net> --- Internationalization is based on support for various different encodings. It is a mistake to assume only a single "globally" used encoding, regardles= s of which encodig this is. So assuming UTF-8 is also a mistake. Maybe my conclusion is not yet understood: UNICODE is an extension to the range of ISO-8859-1 and software that suppor= ts UNICODE should be written in a way to support that. My pager p(1) does this= .=20 The only other method that currently could help is to install gettext () ba= sed translations to the english language, even in case that the source language= is english as well. This is currently the only other widely supported method to permit a hidden iconv() call to the output. BTW: other authors seem to have resignated with internationalization and ju= st do not write their names correctly to avoid problems in similar cases. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
