That certainly seems to be the case -- the pound sign is 0xA3 (with no leading high-bit character) in the file I've just inspected here. I'm completely in the dark about file encodings, myself. Is it a policy requirement that all info files be UTF-8 encoded? The only mentions of UTF-8 I can find in the current policy are for control files and manpages. Is there a way I can specify what encoding the info file is in? If so, is explicitly specifying ISO-8859-1 an acceptable solution? If I do run the info file through iconv to turn it into UTF-8, how do I respond to bug reports from people viewing the file through ISO-8859-1 glasses? - Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
