Hello. I was translating coreutils 8.3 and testing it when I saw that
the pinky output was not fine:
$ pinky

So I tried to see it on english, and it is ok:

$ LC_ALL=en pinky
Login    Name                 TTY      Idle   When         Where

I changed the char á from my string as I use UTF-8, and it becomes ok,
but not with a correct spell:

$ pinky
Usuario  Nome                 TTY      Ocioso Quando           Onde

Thanks for the report.
There are a few programs like this, including df and who.
No one has been motivated to work on the general problem,
but we would welcome patches.

Note there is mbsalign() functionality now in ls
which could be used for this. I'll have a look at some stage.

cheers,
Pádraig.
