It seems as if 9.1 will use utf-8 as the default encoding (at least for locales-he, iso-8859-8 is missing), but it's yet to work flawlessly in the console (man pages look weird, e.g., it seems that the system having trouble getting out of utf-8 mode for shutdowns, etc.)
Which brings the question, is there a planned package for ncursesw (ncurses compiled with wchars support)? Are there any issues preventing one from being made (I understand this is too late for 9.1, but what about future relases?). -Shay.
