So I'd like to hear from anyone who's using a non-UTF-8 locale on Fedora Core 2.
I use Latin 1 (ISO 8859-1). Well, so far I'm running Fedora Core 1, but when I upgrade I'll still use Latin 1. I've got lots of text files and filenames with non-English letters in them. No matter which operating system system I use I'll be stuck to Latin 1 for the foreseeable future. For filenames, a tool could be written to transcode them automatically, but for the files' content there's *no* way for the system to know which files would have to be transcoded and which would get destroyed if it tried to transcode them.
