Re: [Lynx-dev] wide-char support with different builds

[Steve White]

I was curious enough to build it myself on the Manjaro system.
I now see what the problem is.  I have a recommendation.

The default configuration has
        CHARACTER_SET:iso-8859-1
simply changing the value in /etc/lynx.cfg to
        CHARACTER_SET:utf-8
resolves the issue.

The thing is, in this day and age, the *right* encoding is UTF-8.
But the builder of distro software generally has little time to tweek each
package they build.  The default configuraton should be UTF-8, if the
system can handle it (which all modern systems do.)

It would be much better for your configuration to detect UTF-8 support
(however it needs to) and to set the CHARACTER_SET accordingly.

Cheers!
