Ooops? I accidently sent a reply privately instead of to the list, sorry for that. Here it is again, this time hopefully to the list: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Johnny Rosenberg <gurus.knugum at gmail.com> Date: 2013/4/23 Subject: Re: [flac-dev] Metaflac UTF-8 fixes To: Janne Hyv?rinen <cse at sci.fi> 2013/4/23 Janne Hyv?rinen <cse at sci.fi>:> Hopefully the last patch from me to UTF-8 issues. > Metaflac can now print all console supported characters from tags on the > screen.

What exactly am I missing here? Johnny Rosenberg

I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 at the moment (had thoughts about switching to something else, maybe Arch or whatever, but I didn't yet). That makes sense anyway; in Windows you would expect UTF-16 or something rather than UTF-8, I guess, if not ISO-8859-something. Or even worse: Windows-1252? :P But I didn't use Windows since 2007, so I'm not sure what happened with it since then.
