Thanks Tom. Lynx version is Lynx Version 2.8.8rel.2 (09 Mar 2014) libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, OpenSSL 1.0.1g, ncurses 5.9.20110404 Built on netbsd Jun 28 2014 17:07:45
I can get the Chinese text in GB2312 encoding to work (e.g. the homepage of cnd.org). But I really want to get Unicode to work. It seems more and more non-European web pages use Unicode instead of language-specific encoding these days. (Does this list oppose top-posting? If so, I'll do it the right way next time.) ________________________________ From: Thomas Dickey <[email protected]> To: Yong Huang <[email protected]> Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2014 3:13 PM Subject: Re: [Lynx-dev] Display Unicode text in lynx run in a Putty window On Sun, Jun 29, 2014 at 12:09:07PM -0700, Yong Huang wrote: > I use Putty (a telnet or ssh program) to connect to a UNIX box and run lynx > (Version 2.8.8rel.2 (09 Mar 2014)).

(offhand, I recall only looking at PuTTY with Lucida Console, which has some CJK coverage, but not "good" - all of the good-coverage Microsoft fonts are part of Office). -- Thomas E.
