Hi,
I've a problem with FreeBSD, UTF-8 and Sorting.
e.g. there is a file with the following content
Meier
M=FCller
=D6ger
Ofner
Schmidt
I have set my Terminal to ISO-8859-1 Encoding and call sort on this
file I get the following output.
Meier
M=FCller
Ofner
=D6ger
Schmidt
Which is correctly sorted.
When i change my Terminal to UTF-8 encoding and convert the file to
UTF-8 and call sort again I get the following output.
Meier
M=FCller
Ofner
Schmidt
=D6ger
which is wrong.
The problem seams to be that the LC_COLLATE file in the de_DE.UTF-8
locale is linked to ../la_LN.US-ASCII/LC_COLLATE (as are all
LC_COLLATE Files in any UTF-8 locale).
After some Research i found a Mail from Kuba Lida in December 2008
(yeah that's 5 Years ago) stating the same Problem and got no response.
Why isn't there a UTF-8 LC_COLLATE file for any language. Kuba Lida
believed there was a Problem with multibyte collate files in FreeBSD.
Is this true and are there plans to fix this problem.
The same test under Linux works without problem.
Regards
Estartu
