I downloaded 384, but I can't get it to display UTF-8 characters at all. I get the likes of 'P3REP qDDGP qD1QN-REpFP' instead of seeing UTF-8 Arabic characters. The same setup, settings (I have, per the man page, LESSCHARSET set to utf-8) and file under 381 works without issue. Here's a sample file for you to try (compare against what is shown on your web browser when the UTF-8 encoding is selected), www.arabeyes.org/~nadim/ar_utf8 Let me know if I'm doing something wrong. uname -a : SunOS dah 5.7 Generic_106541-15 sun4u gcc -v : gcc version 3.2.1 Can someone else please confirm (and CC Mark) ?
