UTF-8 Support #2

Open ryanflannery opened 13 years ago

ryanflannery commented 13 years ago

Many media files have their meta-info encoded in UTF-8. Now that OpenBSD has rudimentary UTF-8 support in base, add this to vitunes.

Adding this support requires one of two things:

  1. I use a 3rd party internationalization library (and alternative version of curses), or
  2. Wait for full support of this in OpenBSD base.

OpenBSD's support is still quite rudimentary. See the original cvs commit here, and a very nice article on undeadly.org here describing what is still lacking.

I'm not certain of the above, but after spending a 2 days digging into this, the above appears to be the case.

As such, I'm postponing this enhancement until OpenBSD has enough support.
