Hi Gavin,
Charset conversion is implemented.
Thanks for all the work, and description of the trade-offs.
It seems sound to me, FWIW. We should await Sergey's review to commit.
The attachment anchors.info is a test file to check that anchors point
Would you like to set up a (long-overdue) test framework for info? I'm
guessing that with --dribble, --strict-node-location, and other options,
it should be possible to run tests in batch.
(http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.1/doc/luit.1.html) which seems to be
a partial solution to this problem - however, it only supports UTF-8
Interesting. It's only partial in another way, too -- the problem I
have is not with one-given-locale-to-UTF8 conversion; that's easy. It's
that I receive mail and look at files in tons of different encodings. I
mean, that's the reality of the world. The only semi-solution I've
found is that current emacs, running under X, can adapt ok to different
encodings. No terminal program I've found can. Anyway ...
Thanks again,
Karl
