Hello,
I encountered the following issue in coreutils 5.2.1: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 /usr/bin/printf 'A%2sB\n' '2' # Prints A 2B /usr/bin/printf 'A%2sB\n' '²' # Prints A²B instead of A ²B
In other words: printf counts 2byte UTF-8 characters as two characters instead of one.
(BASH 2.05b's built-in printf has by the way the same problem, which is fixed in BASH 3.0.)
Regards,
Tobias
