What do you mean by multibyte characters? Of course all the accented letters are multibyte characters in UTF-8. I created several simple text files in UTF-8 encoding, containing standard accented letters that are also part of latin-1 or latin-2 (e.g. e with acute grave, e with acute accent, o with double acute) as well as euro symbol, low-99 and high-99 quote marks etc., sent them to the printer with "lpr filename" (with LANG=hu_HU.UTF-8 and no other LC_* variables) and they all got printed correctly. What I didn't test is double-width (cjk) characters, combining symbols, non-printable characters, invalid UTF-8 sequences and other similar more tricky files. It's easily possible that OOo is better in this respect. -- Egmont -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
