I would like to second this proposal. [I haven't had to build nkf or hobble along with iconv for well over 10 years now. For languages that have multiple encodings, e.g., Japanese (euc-jp, sjis, iso-2022-jp), utf-8 has been a blessing.] [...] > This ISO-8859-1 default was never a good idea, and is now a thing of the past. I started out on an 8bit machine, but soon purchased a 16bit machine. Even when I moved up to 32 bit, utf-8 was still pretty much out of reach. In those days, ISO-8859-1 was a fairly decent default, I suppose. I'm pretty sure, though, that most people who crank these machines up know what they are getting into. Truly, iso-8850-1 as the default is a relic of the past. My $0.02 Take care all, Henry
