Makes UTF-8 I/O the default none

Description Christian Rose 2002-10-21 21:16:21 UTC 
elinks seems to be unable of displaying UTF-8 (it's not available in the 
encoding menu at least), which is very unfortunate in a UTF-8 locale 
environment like is being installed by default in RHL 8.0. It would be great if 
elinks could support UTF-8.
Comment 1 Miloslav Trmac 2002-10-23 09:44:02 UTC 
As a workaround, set character set to iso-8859-1 (or what you would
usually use), and run
        LC_ALL=your-locale_without_utf8 luit links
You get only 256 characters, but it works about as well as in RHL 7.3.

Set UTF-8 I/O on in your terminal options -- does that make the
problem go away?

Comment 7 Barry K. Nathan 2004-03-14 05:00:58 UTC 
In my case, at least, setting UTF-8 I/O in the terminal options does
make the problem go away.
Comment 8 Daniel Hokka Zakrisson 2004-05-25 21:34:26 UTC 
This bug is still present on Fedora Core 2, in a no-X environment.

Created attachment 100644 [details]
Makes UTF-8 I/O the default

... and now that I've learned to read, turning on UTF-8 I/O does indeed make
the problem go away.
