Why do you think clients that can't display these quotes are broken? By the nature of the PC console, the Linux console (on the ix86, at least) can only display 512 different characters, 256 if you want bold characters. Conformant Unicode systems can support whatever set of characters they want. Give me a list of characters (< 256) that en_*.UTF-8 should support, and a consensus, then we can start claiming they're broken and fixing them. -- David Starner - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pointless website: http://dvdeug.dhis.org "I saw a daemon stare into my face, and an angel touch my breast; each one softly calls my name . . . the daemon scares me less." - "Disciple", Stuart Davis -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
