Not sure what that is. I mean that in a local nordic, setting people ca= n use iso-8859-1|15/windows-1252/UTF-8 for their needs be means of conv= erting the characters as-needed without loss, with very few practial re= strictions.=20 =46or a larger setting that won't do, but then the need is typically le= ss since people tend to use ASCII only, or you jump to all unicode. Just because I use UTF-8 doesn't mean I use start using more characters= in practice. -- robin
