OverbiteFF, or actually Firefox, will al= low you to override any charset so you can almost always get proper chars o= n screen, but I'm not sure if such overrides exist in Lynx (elinks does hav= e charset overriding but it doesn't support gopher). There was a new console gopher client announced on this list a year ago? I = can't remember it's name but search the archives - it does exist. - Kim > On 12 Jan 2016, at 14:00, H=E9ctor A.

I basically need a command line based client to view UTF-8 = gopher correctly from ARM low cost ssh server. I have tested on Raspberry P= i (with and without ssh) but I haven't tested on Beaglebone Black, which is= supposed to use the "real" Debian (compared to Raspbian), and I am not sur= e if that has anything to do with the problem. > = > I don't understand why the same client (Lynx) on the same platform (Raspb= erry 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 settin= gs. > = > If the Lynx guys help me I will share the solution with this list. Otherw= ise, I guess I will need to test with another gopher command line based cli= ent (I will probably check w3m) or start developing one myself. > = > Regards, > -- = > H=E9ctor > On Mon, Jan 11, 2016 at 08:53:53AM +0200, Kim Holviala wrote: >> Hi, >> = >> Having tested different charsets across gopher servers and clients, the = only thing that ever worked properly was 7-bit US-ASCII.
