Oops, sorry. #313789 is another bug report from me which just reports many typos. Now I properly write to #405471. > > OK, I tried lynx-cur-wrapper which uses lynx-cur.

Please note that I just purged all my lynx* packages and reinstalled lynx-cur-wrapper which should (according to the package description) select the proper language/encoding. After purging lynx-cur-wrapper and installing lynx-cur I just miss all 8bit characters again. This time not even a 7bit transliteration is used! PS: During a few purge/installations I noticed the debconf question for the default homepage. This is an abuse of debconf. This information is just completely unimportant. Do you not think that a proper question for the preferred language (and locale settings if setlocale() is really not used by default) is much more important? (But no, there should be no such question, since it should work by default using locale settings!) My local ~/.lynxrc config contains preferred_language=de; q=1.0, en; q=0.5 which should have no effect. My locale settings: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ALL= I don't know whether it matters but I use a "screen" session in xterm.
