   Hello Wilfred.   
      
   23 Mar 24 13:57, you wrote to me:   
      
    WvV>>> Btw: My terminal seems fine with displaying the CP850 high   
    WvV>>> ascii characters (despite the warning):   
      
    WvV>>> https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/8bcb9d2ecfdf   
      
    VA>> Looks like your luit doesn't support CP850 or you don't have   
    VA>> en_US.CP850. There are some encodings which luit list, but   
    VA>> doesn't support actually. For example, mine lists CP866, but   
    VA>> doesn't work with it.   
      
    VA>> Does it present in `locale -a` output?   
      
    WvV> I don't know if that says much, because mostly there are just the   
    WvV> xx_XX and xx_XX.utf8 versions of the encodings. To give you a sample:   
      
    WvV> # locale -a | grep en_   
      
   [...skipped...]   
      
      
    WvV> Does this mean there is just an utf8 charset and an unspecified one   
    WvV> for almost every language-country? That doesn't seem logical!   
      
   It just mean that your system doesn't have necessary locale installed. And   
   that perfectly explain why luit shows all chars, but GoldEd doesn't.   
      
   Luit converts them using internal tables to UTF, but GoldEd tries to use   
   en_EN.CP850, which is missing. That's why it doesn't understand that letters   
   with codes > 127 are letters.   
      
   You need to install or generate this locale and GoldEd will show those   
   letters! What Linux distribution do you use? Do you need help with locale   
   generation?   
      
    WvV> Doesn't this show you what encodings luit supports:   
      
    WvV> # luit -list   
    WvV> Known locale encodings:   
      
    WvV>   C: GL -> G0, GR -> G2, G0: ASCII, G2: ISO 8859-1   
    WvV>   POSIX: GL -> G0, GR -> G2, G0: ASCII, G2: ISO 8859-1   
    WvV>   US-ASCII: GL -> G0, GR -> G2, G0: ASCII, G2: ISO 8859-1   
    WvV> ...   
    WvV>   CP850: GL -> G0, GR -> G2, G0: ASCII, G2: CP 850   
    WvV> ...   
      
    WvV> Known charsets (not all may be available):   
      
    WvV>   ISO 646 (1973) (ISO 2022, 94 codes)   
    WvV>   ASCII (ISO 2022, 94 codes)   
    WvV> ...   
    WvV>   CP 437 (128 codes)   
    WvV>   CP 850 (128 codes)   
    WvV>   CP 852 (128 codes)   
    WvV> ...   
      
    WvV> So luit seems to know about CP850...   
      
   Yes. And that's good!   
      
    VA>> Have you tried to run that script without luit? You don't even   
    VA>> need to change locale for it - just encoding in terminal.   
      
    WvV> https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/574e349fadaf   
      
    WvV> So without luit it doesn't display anything useful. With luit,   
    WvV> although you get the warning, it does display the right characters for   
    WvV> CP850 !?   
      
   Yep. I meant to run that script without luit in terminal configured for CP850.   
   But you don't need to do that anymore as long as we found root cause already.
