What I think is also very much needed for this is documentation. I currently run simply without setting any locale. This works for me, but if I were to test UTF8 stuff, I would need to know how.
/me too. Perhaps Xavier or anyone else on the GDP knows more about UTF8?
Not really, it just works for me. Gnome/gvim/gedit/less/xterm support utf8.
I even have utf8 chars in filenames, no problem.
OOo.org was mentioned, but it can open utf8 text files OK and utf8 filenames are properly displayed in the open file dialog.
There is an UTF-8 howto in the forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=166984
I have contact with the author and I'm trying to get him on board.
There is also a quite substantial
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Unicode-HOWTO.html
but it does not address typing utf8 chars in a console and I have never looked deeply into that either.
FYI, unicode_start will make your console display utf8 but when I do that, I can't type accented chars anymore, e.g. meta , c does not give me ccedilla as it did before doing a unicode_start.
