Re: [Lynx-dev] French accents

Alright, I have MORE information.

 

As I mentionned I have modified the "lynx.cfg.dist" file...  Here are the lines which I have uncommented and "enabled":

 

CHARACTER_SET:iso-8859-1
LOCALE_CHARSET:TRUE

ASSUME_CHARSET:iso-8859-1

ASSUME_LOCAL_CHARSET:iso-8859-1

 

Now here is the REAL kicker...  When I have ran an new instance of Lynx and VERIFY the Options menu...  I now get:

 

Use locale-based character sets(!)     ON

Display character set                      7 bit approximations (US-ASCII)

Assumed document character set(!)    iso-8859-1

Raw 8-bit(!)                                      ON

 

This is very interesting...  By somehow FORCING the iso-8859-1 character set, Lynx now DEFAULTS to US-ASCII (7 bit).

 

What IS EVEN BETTER is that if I TRY to CHANGE that value, I get the following message: UNMODIFIABLE option list.

 

Maybe this might shed some light on the problem...

 

Sincerely,
