Hello,

Accentuated letters do not appear in Etch's nano when input in ISO8859-1. 
I open an 'xterm', then 'nano'. Accentuated letters do work if I call 'vim', 
'less' or even 'more' instead of 'nano'.

In files already containing accentuated letters, they do not appear at all.
In a new file, trying to input an accentuated letter results in a seemingly 
blank space; when ASCII letters are then input, they appear at the beginning 
of the line, as if no accentuated letter had been input. 

I use the exact same setting I have used for a number of years, lastly on 
Ubuntu. (I only tried changing LANG from en_US to en_US.ISO8859-1.)

NB: I have called locale-gen on my system; here are the config files:

~>cat /etc/environment 
LANG="en_US.ISO8859-1"

~>cat /etc/locale.gen 
en_US ISO8859-1

NB: if I call 'LC_ALL=C nano' instead of just 'nano', eveything works fine 
again in 'nano'. That's my local fix for now. Yet it is not very 
satisfactory... I'd be glad if you could fix the underlying issue.


Best regards,
Sebastien.
