Perhaps Xavier or anyone else on the GDP knows more about UTF8? Not really, it just works for me. Gnome/gvim/gedit/less/xterm support utf8. I even have utf8 chars in filenames, no problem. OOo.org was mentioned, but it can open utf8 text files OK and utf8 filenames are properly displayed in the open file dialog. > There is an UTF-8 howto in the forums: > http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=166984 > > I have contact with the author and I'm trying to get him on board. There is also a quite substantial http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Unicode-HOWTO.html but it does not address typing utf8 chars in a console and I have never looked deeply into that either. FYI, unicode_start will make your console display utf8 but when I do that, I can't type accented chars anymore, e.g. meta , c does not give me ccedilla as it did before doing a unicode_start.
