This happened whenever routine 'terminal-encoding.c' option had been
commented out of the encoding menu possibilities.
This was done without any comment in the code of the actual reason why
this had been done or what replaced it functionality.
<snip>
static const struct {
const char *charset;
const char *name;
} encodings[] = {
// { "UTF-8", N_("Current Locale") }, <--- !!!!!
{ "ISO-8859-1", N_("Western") },
{ "ISO-8859-2", N_("Central European") },
{ "ISO-8859-3", N_("South European") },
<snip>
This appears to disallow the setting of the terminal encoding depending
on the locale setting which allows the character encoding to be set from
the command-line and forces the end user to resort to always having to
point and click to choose encoding instead of doing for example. . . .
"env LC_CTYPE=is_IS.iso88591 gnome-terminal -e 'slogin host1'"
Which sets the encoding to whatever the locale specifies if
gnome-terminal 'Character Encoding' is set to 'Current Locale' and in
this case host1 is using iso88591 charset.
env LC_CTYPE=is_IS.utf8 gnome-terminal -e 'slogin host2' if host2 is
using utf8.
Or simply be doing 'gnome-terminal --characerencoding=xxxxx' where xxxxx
is an encoding from the available set.
