ALPHA is also missing the letters at codepoints above 0x80, which makes the file extra wrong. "en_US.ISO_8859-1.src" looks in much better shape. > First, the Latin-1 file also contains: > > CHARSET ",A" > > which a comment suggests is used after an ESC. Used for what? > Anything that matters? Who or what assigned the ",A" ? My guess would be it would be to select that charset to be used in some terminal or other. I searched in the xterm (mostly DEC) escape sequences but didn't find anthing like that, but it can also mean I didn't search for the right thing. It could also be in X11's weird Compound Text Encoding but it doesn't seem like that either. -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert <rhialto/at/falu.nl> \X/ There is no AI.
