Your script seems to be very robust now! I used the commands "locale"
and "locale charmap" to check what was happening and you are correct:
if no charmap is set by the user, the system inherits the default one.
I reconfigured my locales and set "none" as the default system locale,
and didn't set my personal locale. If I open either xterm or console I
get:
$ locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=
$ conjugue
Current locale charmap `ANSI_X3.4-1968' is unknown to conjugue.
Accepted charmaps are UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1.
However, if I open uxterm it automatically converts LC_CTYPE into
"en_US.UTF-8" and conjugue does its job and calls conjugue-UTF-8.
It seems that the script will never print the hundreds of lines of
error messages. I think that The worst thing that might happen is the
existence of a mismatch between the user's locale configuration and
the charmap of his terminal. But in this case all applications that
output non-ASCII characters will print strange letters.
Thanks,
Jakson
