I have to remind myself that when I write, I shouldn't leave any room for misinterpretation. What I meant was that for character lengths, we can assume a fixed width of 1 byte. And for the Unicode values, we just assume the byte value. And as Ian mentioned in a previous post, apparently that's exactly what ISO-8859-1 is so scrap any explanation I gave and let's just say ISO-8859-1, :). -- Richi Plana -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
