   I have a bunch of things mapped to UTF-8 using the translation tables and   
   whatnot, but I think the real difference is in those others mentioned. Here   
   I'm setting my xlatlocalset, xlatimport, and exlatexport to UTF-8, basically   
   forcing it to use it no matter what.   
      
    ml> the main thing is that some are trying to push utf-8 in to fidonet...

   Well, Golded+ does support twice as many character translations as MsgEd does,   
   but that's besides the point. If by "closest" you mean "very far away from"   
   then yes. :)   
      
   But at this point the only *REAL* way to do it is the way Maurice does it..   
   which is basically all manually (no thanks). :)

   At this point I don't think it will happen, unless those that mentioned   
   tinkering with something do actually get something out into the wild. But I   
   have it pretty close and can deal with it's drawbacks as long as I need to.   
      
   Anyhow, you had mentioned that the STATS echo looks off to you. In the last 10   
   messages posted there, when I switch to ter-i14b and use a 256 glyph font,   
   both of Bill's posts display correctly, but none of yours do.   
      
   Are you trying to post them in UTF-8 or in CP437?   
   What charset is the system using that is posting them?   
      
   It almost seems like your posts aren't being posted correctly, which is why   
   you're having issues seeing them properly. You said lines and double lines do   
   display okay over there? If you're referring to Bill's posts then I'd have to   
   agree. Though something is definitely wrong with the ones you posted.   
      
    ml> so, what can you tell me about your "utf-8 4" settings? do you know   
    ml> what you changed or set for that?? not that it will help with this   
    ml> incorrect rendering mess :(   
      
   I created my own very basic translation table, including:   
      
   0       ; ID Number   
   0       ; Version Number   
   4       ; Level number of table to display   
      
   UTF-8   ; From set   
   UTF-8   ; To set   
   END   
      
   Named it utf8_utf8.chs   
      
   And in golded.cfg, I added this:   
      
   xlatcharset    utf-8    utf-8    utf8_utf8.chs   
      
   So I basically just fooled it into thinking I was translating what I was   
   already using. It's a hack, but it works. :)   
      
   Regards,
