I have certainly never managed it, anyway.
I remember a few small bumps when I switched to using utf8 by default in Linux, but nothing very difficult to figure out. There are still a few places where it isn't displayed properly, but they are isolated cases and don't bother me much (mostly a couple older tools that just don't have good non-ascii support). > Mind you, I've never managed to get the <-- button working reliably > either, but to be fair that's insanely complicated too.
