Thomas David Rivers once stated:

=> Is the subject  supposed to consider the LANG setting?  I'd think so,
=> but  it does  not :(  Send-pr?  I have  a bunch  of jpeg-images  with
=> comments  in Russian.  rdjpeg(1) reads  them, but  because isprint(3)
=> says 0, prints every character's octal value :(. Thanks!

= As you point out, the isprint(3) man page seems to suggest it does not
= check lang  - isprint  simply looks  at the byte  and decides  if it's
= printable in the ASCII char set.

Well, the man  page gives the list, of what  the is considered printable
in the  ASCII charset,  thus implying,  there may  be other  lists under
other charsets. That's  my impression. Somehow vi(1),  for example, does
pay attention to the LANG when displaying characters.

=Perhaps the best thing to do would be to remove the test in rdjpeg???

There may indeed  be junk there. I'd  love to get rdjpeg  whatever vi is
smoking...
