<para>In text mode, <application>Links</application> cannot be
|
|
configured to use UTF-8 encoding for the terminal input/output. This
|
|
limitation renders <application>Links</application> useless as a
|
|
text-based browser in UTF-8 locales. See general discussion of this
|
|
type of issue in the <xref linkend="locale-not-valid-option"/> section
|
|
on the <xref linkend="locale-issues"/> page. The patch fixes all these
|
|
issues with an exception of Chinese locale, when there isn't an available
|
|
character set.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In graphical mode, <application>Links</application> displays text
|
|
correctly even in UTF-8 locales, if all characters exist in the built-in
|
|
font used by <application>Links</application>. Form submission in UTF-8
|
|
locales is handled correctly when running in X11-based (but not
|
|
framebuffer-based) graphical mode.</para>
