   Charcter encoding nightmare. :)

   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
