verified on 7.3.93

Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2002-08-05 08:48:09 UTC

Which locale are you using?

Comment 3 Gene Czarcinski 2002-08-05 09:12:16 UTC

US, English.

I just checked and LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2002-08-05 09:40:39 UTC

Well, a2ps doesn't support UTF-8 yet.  Does it mostly work if you put: 
 
utf-8     iso1 
 
at the end of /usr/share/a2ps/encoding/encoding.map?

Comment 5 Gene Czarcinski 2002-08-05 09:58:59 UTC

works for me but I hope that does not screw anyone else

Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2002-08-05 10:16:35 UTC

It's the behaviour that previous versions (before the automatic-encoding 
patch) had at least. 
 
Fixed package is 4.13b-24.

Comment 7 Jay Turner 2002-08-05 15:32:08 UTC

Fix confirmed with a2ps-4.13b-24.
