After building from the tip of the branch,
maxima-index.lisp files (de, de.utf8, es, es.utf8, pt, pt.utf8)
are built successfully, and they appear to have correct
characters in them (no '?' or other substitutions).
Titles and content are both displayed correctly
in ISO-8859 locales (de_DE, es_ES, pt_PT).
Titles (i.e. the strings in maxima-index.lisp) are displayed
correctly in UTF-8 locales, but in the content, special
characters are messed up -- they are displayed as
garbled characters.
I notice that all of the maxima.info* files have coding: iso-8859-1
at the end, even in the *.utf8 directories.
I'm sorry to ask, but wouldn't it be more efficient if you
test your changes before asking others to do so?
All I'm doing is building Maxima and then launching
LC_ALL=$whatever konsole
and running Maxima in that.
FWIW
