mm.. I think the terminal is set correctly. I have those lines in ~/.login_conf:
me:\ :charset=iso-8859-1:\ :lang=en_US.ISO8859-1: and indeed an "ls" on the music directory displays the filenames with the correct accented characters. ncmpcpp does have a config setting file: I modified the ~/.ncmpcpp/config file changing the system_encoding as follows: ..... ##### system encoding ##### ## ## if you use encoding other than utf8, set it in ## order to handle utf8 encoded strings properly. ## # system_encoding = "ISO-8859-1" .... But that produces no change, as if ncmpcpp is still sending UTF-8 to the terminal... I saw that there was a bug filed for a similar problem last year but it was fixed in January (Mantis ID: 0001870). Maybe the FreeBSD port still has that bug? thanks again On Tue, Sep 8, 2009 at 10:10 PM, Max Kellermann<m...@duempel.org> wrote: > On 2009/09/08 22:03, Giuseppe Pagnoni <gpagn...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Ah, I see... well, I am using ncmpp as a client and that displays the >> weird text when I load the music directories.
