Not really, it just works for me. Gnome/gvim/gedit/less/xterm support utf8. |
| 13 |
I even have utf8 chars in filenames, no problem. |
| 14 |
OOo.org was mentioned, but it can open utf8 text files OK and utf8 filenames |
| 15 |
are properly displayed in the open file dialog. |

There is also a quite substantial |
| 23 |
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Unicode-HOWTO.html |
| 24 |
but it does not address typing utf8 chars in a console and I have never looked |
| 25 |
deeply into that either. |
| 26 |
FYI, unicode_start will make your console display utf8 but when I do that, I |
| 27 |
can't type accented chars anymore, e.g. meta , c does not give me ccedilla as |
| 28 |
it did before doing a unicode_start. |
