This may affect some users, but it is hardly everyone. Most US users are going to just be using the ASCII subset of Latin 1. They may have a few saved email messages with some nonascii characters, but those will probably be saved in mail folders where the proper encoding is also saved. I wouldn't expect nonASCII characters in filenames or most text files. > I guess the problem is much bigger in Europe than in many other places, > as we have a love for all kinds of different characters - and many > people also use them in their filenames and passwords. That is what I would have expected. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
