With Eloquence B.08.30 we handle terminal character sets more flexible.
Depending on the settings, a terminal may have more than a single
character set. For example, an xterm terminal type may be used with
utf-8, iso-8859-1 or iso-8859-15 encoding. This is determined by the
user locale settings, specifically the LC_CTYPE environment variable.
Please make sure the LC_CTYPE environment variable is setup properly
to indicate a supported character set encoding, most likely ISO-8859-1
for compatibility with previous Eloquence releases.
For an quick test it should be sufficient to set this in the shell
(for example, export LC_CTYPE=en_UK@iso88591 and then run eloqcore).
The following command shows the character set of the current locale:
$ locale -c charmap
LC_CTYPE
ISO-8859-1
Eloquence B.08.30 supports character set encoding UTF-8,
ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-15 and HP-ROMAN8. The LC_CTYPE specification
depends on the operating system and installed options.
For example:
$ LC_CTYPE=de_DE@iso88591 locale -c charmap
LC_CTYPE
ISO-8859-1
$ LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro locale -c charmap
LC_CTYPE
ISO-8859-15
$ LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 locale -c charmap
LC_CTYPE
UTF-8
Note: Please note that Eloquence as of B.08.30 no longer uses
the previous .map files to define the terminal character
set encoding.
Previous .map files are unsupported and are likely to result
in unexpected behavior.
