Hi James, I've noticed that in openbsd utf-8 is not universally supported like on other open source systems.
As far as I know you have to use en_US.UTF-8 or C for LC_CTYPE and I'm not sure if the LANG environment variable is used either. Whether it should segfault in this case I don't know. Perhaps once you are running abiword it will have its own native language support for documents and you won't need to set the LANG variable? See this FAQ: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq8.html Regards Ed Gray On Sun, 13 Dec 2020, 11:03 pm James Cook, <falsif...@falsifian.org> wrote: > On Thu, Dec 03, 2020 at 04:48:04PM +0000, James Cook wrote: > > I just installed abiword and also just upgraded to the latest snapshot > > (and ran pkg_add -u). abiword immediately crashes when I run it.
