The glibc support UTF8 and UTF-8 (>= 2.1.x). At least iconv --list gives the two names. I will be surprised that the gnu libiconv does not understand the two names too. > The other part of the problem is that Solaris 2.5.1 has its own iconv > which doesn't appear to dor UTF at all.

An other things which can cause trouble is nl_langinfo. I do not know if Solaris (and other non glibc system) has it. Olivier -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
