Hi,
Much of my work consists in connecting to the MySQL monitor on our public library database server and working in it. Until recently, I've been using either Gnome-Terminal in GNOME, or Konsole in KDE. Since all the systems, both server and clients, default to fr_FR.UTF-8, and MySQL uses a default latin1 charset, I usually switch the displayed charset within Gnome-Terminal or Konsole.
I'm actually converting most of the desktops to XFCE, since it's my preferred desktop environment. Unfortunately, XFCE's Terminal application doesn't seen to offer the opportunity to switch to displaying an ISO-8859-1 (or ISO-8859-15) charset. Is there any other way to achieve that?
Right now, all my french characters in the MySQL console appear as inverted question marks. Which leaves me with two more inverted question marks in my eyes :oD
Any suggestions?
use gnome-terminal in XFCE?
