I meant my own announced plan which was more agressively aiming for enforcing UTF-8. Well, i hope that my cheat sheet for (unsuccessful) kernel contribution attempts enabled me to create a convincing imitation of an acceptable patch for GRUB. To help reading the oversized line salad: I defined the variable XORRISOFS_CHARSET and added $XORRISOFS_CHARSET after each "-as mkisofs" in the xorriso command lines. Tests were made without any LANG setting (effectively en_US.utf-8), with LANG="", "C", "en_US.ISO-8859-1" (not installed), "en_US.UTF-8", "de_DE.UTF-8" (not installed). All succeeded. Have a nice day :) Thomas _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
