Hello All!

the recent discussions on utf-8 on this echo made me the intention to solve
the character encoding issues on my point.

So I'm here to kindly ask you hints about the configuration.

I run my point on Linux Mint with this configuration:

bizzi@bizzi:~$ locale
LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=it_IT:en
LC_CTYPE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_TIME=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_NAME=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_ALL=

This is the golded.cfg part for the charcter encoding:

// Path where the *.ESC and *.CHS files can be found.
Xlatpath /home/bizzi/husky/golded/charset/

XLATCHARSET CP850 UTF-8 850_UTF8.CHS
XLATCHARSET UTF-8 CP850 UTF8_850.CHS

GROUP UTF8
        xlatimport utf-8
        member utf-8
        xlatexport utf-8
        origin UTF-8 enthousiast
ENDGROUP

If I start golded from a xfce terminal the accented characters shows as a
double "?" with inverted color.

If I start golded from putty with the ISO-8859-1 charcter encoding I see the
correct characters in golded, but all other people see garbage in my messages.

The golded configuration is taken from a well know article by Michiel van der
Vlist : "Training Golded to play UTF-8", so I suppose it should be right. :)

Any hint? :)

Many thanks to all.

Ciao!
Fabio
