The information is available: $ LANG=de_DE locale charmap ISO-8859-1 $ [EMAIL PROTECTED] locale charmap ISO-8859-15 $ LANG=de_DE.utf8 locale charmap UTF-8 But the answer space is infinite: $ LANG=C locale charmap ANSI_X3.4-1968 I suspect Japanese users will also have a problem with this mechanism, but at least we could keep -E to override the automatic selection. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
