   I would also guess that explains the differences Joseph sees between   
   Slackware 14.2 and Slackware 15.0.   
      
   A quick fix for the scripts used by Joseph might be to revert to   
   iso-8859-1 in at least those scripts:   
      
   export LANG=en_US.iso-8859-1   
      
   However, the output charset selected by the LANG variable must also match   
   the charset that the terminal expects. Some terminal programs like   
   konsole use a menu setting like "View, Set Encoding" for this. Other   
   terminal programs like xterm have a special script uxterm to call xterm   
   with -u8 to select utf-8.
