I think you mean because of Mac OS X. Indeed, unless this has changed, with the Mac OS X Terminal, when a user types an accented character, it is in NFD at the command line level. So, even if the user uses a conventional file system that can store both NFC and NFD, the filename will be in NFD, which will annoy Linux users. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
