Hello Vitaliy!

Saturday March 09 2024 17:21, you wrote to me:

Ok, got it.

 VA> LANG=it_IT.cp850 luit -encoding cp850 gedlnx -C/path/to/your/config

Ok, I built the LATIN-1 (it should be it_IT.iso88591) locale and I started
golded with your suggestion:

LANG=it_IT.iso88591 luit -encoding iso88591 /home/bizzi/husky/bin/gedlnx

I agree! :)

Carlos gave me other hints and now my golded.cfg is this:

XLATLOCALSET LATIN-1
XLATCHARSET LATIN-1 UTF-8 iso_utf8.chs
XLATCHARSET UTF-8 LATIN-1 utf8_iso.chs
XLATEXPORT UTF-8

Now in a standard xfce terminal i see the corrected italian accented letters:

àèéìòù

But I don't know if I exported them in the right way.

I'm used to build golded from the git repository, I'm trying to look at the
documentation for the character translations but the golded.html is empty also
after the "make docs" command.
Please can you tell me where I can find and updated documentation for Golded,
or if I have to do something else to get it from the git tree?

Many thanks. :)

Ciao!
Fabio
