Subject: Re: [gopher] Raspberry Pi, Gopher and UTF-8
Thank you for your reply, Kim.
I just sent a question about this problem to the Lynx web browser developer=
s email list. I basically need a command line based client to view UTF-8 go=
pher correctly from ARM low cost ssh server. I have tested on Raspberry Pi =
(with and without ssh) but I haven't tested on Beaglebone Black, which is s=
upposed to use the "real" Debian (compared to Raspbian), and I am not sure =
if that has anything to do with the problem.
I don't understand why the same client (Lynx) on the same platform (Raspber=
ry Pi) will display UTF-8 correctly for http but incorrectly for gopher. It=
means that the problem is not the computer or the browser's UTF-8 settings.
If the Lynx guys help me I will share the solution with this list. Otherwis=
e, I guess I will need to test with another gopher command line based clien=
t (I will probably check w3m) or start developing one myself.
