Just found libiconv on the web http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/ and thought it might be useful in DSL or DSL-NOT.

It's a converter between language character sets - seems quite complete and might make the experience of the web easier for the user.

??? That's an application-level runtime library. I have no idea how that makes experience of the web easier for the user (the only thing I've ever used it for is converting between isolat1 and UTF-8.)

--------------
System:
eTower 566.12, 32MB RAM, 7GB HD, 200MB swap, 1x USB v.1, Intel 810GFX, Intel 810 Audio.
Recompiled so far: Pretty much everything. I think I'll have to do a remaster to cut the growing bloat off my system.

Ah, I just stumbled upon it, hadn't investigated deeply.

Sounds like the functionality should be ported to a different part of the system so all applications can use it... Xwindows?  Fluxbox?

Thanks for the reply.

I was at the dillo website the other day and they were talking about the new version being based on FLTK because GTK-2 will be too bloated. FLTK and GTK-2 support unicode buttons and boxes. Translation: Eventually, dillo will support various languages.
