Kaixo! Recently I discovered that, since the full support of multybite locales by the GNU libc, the "ls" utility no longuer displays localized file names. It seems to be related to isprint() (and similar functions); from the man page of isprint its parameter is an integer which value is told to be that of a char (a char in the C definition of it, that is, a byte); but CJK locales, and UTF-8 locales (and all multibyte locales) need to test not one but a serie of bytes. In the meantime I'll set an alis ls='ls --show-control-chars' for those locales; but a proper fix has to be done (and probably for various other programs too). I would also be very interested to know what the proper way to handle that problem is; I must admit I really don't know what the right solution should be; Thank you very much. -- Ki ça vos våye bén, Pablo Saratxaga http://www.srtxg.easynet.be/ PGP Key available, key ID: 0x8F0E4975 _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
