I can't talk about "most" here, only local conditions, i.e. northern Europe where both the legacy ISO encodings are very common with a steady increase in UTF-8 usage, in the Linux community. People using OSS in windows almost exclusively get the windows-1252 (for most practical purposes the same as ISO-8859-1). Even a *very* small set of random people you will wind up with people having different locales. -- robin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
