Messages with non-ASCII characters displayed with UTF-8 sequences
For those who are in non-UTF-8 locales and use non-English locales (with messages containing non-ASCII characters, such as accented characters) and wonder if something gets wrong with these messages: On my machine, all these messages suddenly appeared with undecoded UTF-8 sequences, and I took me some time to find out what the cause was: the new version of m4 (1.4.8b_1), that supplies a file /opt/local/lib/charset.alias whose effect is to regard any charset as UTF-8! I've reported the bug: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/11474 -- Vincent Lefèvre <vincent@vinc17.org> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
