RE: Linux and UTF8 filenames
The main thing I find holding me back from really using
UTF-8 for all filenames is the lack a good input method support
for the console. I log into my machine with putty and cygwin from
windows boxes, ssh from linux, and gnome-terminal and the console
locally. If there was a way to use the same input method system at
each of those levels, then I would have a much easier time
I dont think that IIIMF is really going to address the console issue
at that level. (Also it uses UTF-16 internally, anyone else find
that wierd for Unix software?)
