iconv and OpenBSD
I'm having some problems with utf-8 on OpenBSD ...
More specifically, iconv does't seem to work very well. My WM (PekWM) sets the Window title to <INVALID> whenever it contains a non-ascii character (This includes all GIMP windows and many webpages have UTF-8 <title>'s as well), some investigation discovered that PekWM uses iconv() for character translation.
A quick test with % iconv -t UTF-8 file where file is a file with non-ascii characters seems to confirm that iconv doesn't work at all on OpenBSD ... Or at least not with utf-8.
% iconv -l displays UTF-8 as a supported character set, so it should work. (tm)
(Also having problems with UTF-8 with mutt, may be related ... Some other apps like Vim and Xterm work fine though).
