Elan and Gabriele,
Following Gabriele's advice I've just downloaded /View 1.2.8 and things
are exactly the same i.e. not foreign chars echoed by REBOL/View
unfortunatelly :(
I'm quite sure this distribution of Linux I'm currently using is just ok about
foreign characters since it is widely used here in Brazil by all sort of users
that also have different Windows Managers such as Gnome,Fluxbox,IceWm,etc.
Well according to you, Elan, if REBOL uses generic linux libraries it has to
be able to recognize foreign characters, is it ok?
Supposing REBOL does not use generic linux libraries what could be the
solution?
Maybe the guys at RT could give a word on this topic.
Thank you all
