That's `locale charmap`, in fact. I keep making the same mistake. > does, howerver (I supose any system with a working shell command "icon" > also has a working shell command "locale") But if you get iconv by installing libiconv, you might not have a "locale" command. The use of //TRANSLIT is a relatively new (and non-standard!) addition to iconv, so perhaps nobody noticed that it has the side-effect of making it less useful to omit the -t option. It would be good to have "iconv -f utf-8 -t //TRANSLIT" or "iconv -f utf-8 --translit" work, maybe. Edmund - Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
