debian charset howto help
I want to set up charsets on my Etch system to have some reasonable
compromise between 'modern' and 'works for me'. I have, from time to
time, attempted to copy advice offered on email lists with mixed
results. I want to try again because recovering from my last failure
left my computer in a state where man pages and emails, read in mutt,
contain strings like '—' . Based on past experience, I pretty
sure that I can make these disappear, but in the process some other,
undesireable artifacts with arise.
Where is there an up-to-date tutorial for controlling and fixing
charset stuff?
Details of my situation:
mutt for email
emacs and vim for editing
iceweasel
gnome-terminal
gnome desktop, but really only to run gnome-terminal
Once upon a time my system was pure Etch. Now it is Etch with garbage
left over from failed attempts to solve this issue. I think I need
help particularly with clearing out this garbage. Suggestions?
