Re: Does FreeBSD support UTF-8 locale well?
I use zh_CN.GBK as a tentative solution, It works but not as perfectly as I expected. If I use zh_CN.UTF-8, almost all of the Chinese characters in the fat32 partition can't be displayed correctly when mounted. BTW, is there any plan the improve UTF-8 support in BSD community? 2007/9/19, Ivan Voras <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > ronggui wrote: > > > In terms of UTF-8 support, Linux seems better than FreeBSD.

I don't have any FAT3 data, but I've been using UTF-8 locales on most of my desktop and server systems for years now and never experienced any serious problems. You have to expect a few surprieses - when dealing with ISO-8859-encoded data, for example, but overall my experience has been quite smooth. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
