Dear Elinkers,
I have been using elinks for several years for an occasional web
browsing when X is not available, but over the past couple of weeks
have switched to using elinks almost exclusively for all my browsing
needs. As part of that, I am trying to view a Big5-encoded website
[1]. Try as I may, however, I cannot get it to display anything but
gibberish. Could anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong, or at
least unequivocally say that it's not supported and won't work?

Here's what /should/ be displayed:

Here's what is actually displayed:

I tried changing LC_CTYPE variable (as well as LC_ALL, just to test
things out) to zh_TW.Big5, but the results weren't very promising
either:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
