Yesterday I commited a few ebuilds with UTF-8 support (ncurses,dialog,grep). To take advantage of them you have to put "unicode" in your useflags and set a UTF-8 locale on your system. There are quite a few applications that have problems with UTF-8. The next items on my todo list are midnightcommander and sed. I'll add a UTF-8 herd tomorrow if there are no complains. Fellows are always welcome :) mfg, heinrich -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
