Don't we already have plenty of non-ASCII POT files? I know gnome-doc-utils is non-ASCII. > Personally I would say no to “” at this stage. I'm just wondering, if not now, when? What do we have yet to accomplish that's blocking the use of proper typographic quotes? I'm not trying to troll here. It just seems to me that we've had all this functionality for quite a while, but we're still typing as if we're on old typewriters. What do we need to do, as programmers, to get the world out of its ASCII rut? -- Shaun _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
