Universally supported except in FreeBSD. :( I'm not aware of any substantia= l=20 work on UTF-8 since it was imported, which would mean that there's still no= =20 collation support. If even some Linux distributions despite their vastly superior UTF-8 suppor= t=20 apparently do it, I think solution 2 should at least be offered via OPTIONS= =20 right in the port - installing an alternative ruleset wouldn't be too=20 difficult to implement. =2D-=20 ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org --nextPart8110153.QVZnpHCfgF Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBGE4TWXhc68WspdLARAqEDAJ44DUMtFxK5LM9F6sacMbS8BkauOACcC1OC EFkd/lzQBB2tRnrCzt39Rqc= =QlMJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart8110153.QVZnpHCfgF--
