#52420: neomutt: Umlauts, accents are wrongly displayed ------------------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: michele.marcionelli@… | Owner: leonardo@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: neomutt | ------------------------------------+------------------------ Comment (by leonardo.schenkel@…): I don't touch LANG as well. In all Macs I have ever owned, in all OS X versions I can remember, Terminal.app sets the locale like this: {{{ LANG=<locale from regional settings>.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=UTF-8 }}} I never saw plain "C" for LANG, though, which is curious. Why it uses "UTF-8" for LC_CTYPE and not a well-formed locale name is a mystery to me, especially since it can do that just well for LANG — and since LANG is already defined as a UTF-8 locale, there's no need to set LC_CTYPE at all. I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that the relevant specs say that all locales must be in the form of `lang_country_variant.charset` with notable exceptions ("C", "POSIX"). Even though "UTF-8" exists as a locale in the Mac, it's not supposed to be a valid locale name. I even tried to create such a locale via `locale-gen` on Linux systems and it refuses to do so. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/52420#comment:8> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for the Mac operating system
