Follow-up Comment #4, bug #55195 (project octave): Might not be able to postpone this too long: work on bug #55452 has checked in non-ASCII characters in the BIST code (e.g. http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/ccea3574f36b) and that's probably subject to the same encoding considerations as help strings. There may also be an issue with assuming that doc strings are encoded in UTF-8 while the file itself is in a different encoding: text editors don't handle files with mixed encodings. So you wouldn't be able to properly edit these when running in a non-UTF-8 locale if the source files are in system-default encoding. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55195> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
