UTF-8? display correctly putty/ftp/samba only

[volospin]

Hi,

I have try and try and still can't get UTF-8 to work correctly.
I still don't understand what should I do.
I did those emerge glibc thing...
I can set my Filezilla to force UTF-8 on server side.
I even try convmv on a folder name which convmv tells me it is already UTF-8
I am running Windows 2000 with putty 0.58 and set it to UTF-8...
I also try screen... CTRL-A : utf8 on... still gives me ??? or blocks

still don't understand...

maybe putty doesn't support chinese characters?
is putty using chinese font? or using couriernew?
have you checked that ssh is sending as utf-8?
maybe sshd doesn't support utf-8

actually, i don't know either, anyone else know why?

Does emerge --info | grep USE | grep unicode return anything?

If not, you will need to insert "unicode" into your USE in make.conf, and do a emerge --upgrade --newuse --deep --ask world.

Darn it... that reminds me, I've just started my install and compiling toolchain without USE=unicode


Edit: the toolchain doesn't listen for USE=unicode so I'm safe.
