I see value in preserving only ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-15, along with
UTF-8 which should serve the entire world. But before I start nuking
things, I want your opinion. Do you use these encodings with illumos
or Solaris?
I use koi8-r & windows-1251 in the PostgreSQL and nginx. In the new
projects I use utf-8 only, but I have some old code which I can't
rewrite now.
Do you just need support for the encodings (via iconv or whatever) or
do you need the actual locales to be present on the system?
LC_* environment variables and lc_* postgresql.conf settings. At least,
it affects collations.
I'm thinking UTF-8 ought to be sufficient, but I confess I'm not sure
I understand why the encoding would matter at all for the login
locale -- except perhaps you might be interfacing with systems via
e.g. telnet or ssh, which don't support UTF-8 but have a legacy
locale. (Are such concerns still relevant?)
I use utf-8 everywhere in the interactive shell. But some server
software can't use multibyte locales.
