https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D257905 --- Comment #4 from Robert Clausecker <fuz@fuz.su> --- (In reply to J=C3=B6rg Schilling from comment #3) J=C3=B6rg, The error is reproducible in any standard UTF-8 locale. I am not sure what your pager does, but this sounds a lot like it takes input and inteprets it= in a different locale than it is supposed to be. Do you really consider not implementing UTF-8 in an intentionally defective manner to be =E2=80=9Cinsufficient behaviour?=E2=80=9D Also note that Germ= any is not the navel of the word and people do use 8-bit character sets other than ISO 8859-1. = So for any country other than Germany, even the hack you have implemented in p would yield defective results in the general case and be plain useless. For example, consider a Japanese user whose native 8-bit encoding is Shift-= JIS. What do you think this use thinks if your p turns his Shift-JIS documents = into umlauts? There's really no excuse for you not adapting the copyright string to the correct locale, or at least transliterate with oe if the encoding is not ISO-8859-1. As for translation files, GNU gettext supports automatically generating mis= sing strings from strings of other character sets for the same language. So just internationalising the software without any .mo files might already solve t= he problem I think. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
