Thank you for clarifying that. I am not much of a programmer, so doubt that I would be able to add the iconv functionality by myself. However, as far as individual charsets are concerned, is there much more to getting them to work than providing translations tables to UTF-8, like the ones in Unicode directory in elinks sources? Both tables seem to be available from Unicode Consortium to some degree at least (using Microsoft's CP936 for GB2312 and CP950 for Big5): http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/CP936.TXT http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/CP950.TXT Sincerely, Richard Boyechko _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users
