I can see from the bugzilla report that Jonathan was kind enough to point me to that this appears to be an on going issue for a fair number of people. However it does not appear to be getting much visibility. The first time I ran into this it took some digging to find the workaround. Now it is almost the first thing I do on a new system since I am almost assured of having a problem with it. And leaves me wondering if UTF-8 is the standard method from now on what will the workaround break when it is applied to a system? So far I have not seen any problems on my systems but someone else that needs that option may be out of luck. -- Scot L. Harris webid@xxxxxxxxxx In Oz, never say "krizzle kroo" to a Woozy.
