You must be on Leopard. :) On my Tiger system I have in Terminal's Inspector window a Display section where I can set the Character Set Encoding (and I have it set to Unicode UTF-8). I understood that I must then set the LANG variable to correspond to this encoding, so I set LANG to en_US.UTF-8.

Firmly in the other column, though, is what they did to folders in the Dock. ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users

If it works, you'll know that was it, and it would be a good idea to modify your shell startup file to include that line to set LANG for you. Your shell startup file might be ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile or possibly others; I'm sure the Bash documentation has a complete list of all the files it checks at launch time. ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
