Hi,

I've downloaded wget from http://macosx.forked.net/ as a port to MacOSX (package).
It installed fine and even realized that my native language was french but had some issue with the printing of the help in french : the accentuated char are replaced by a ?

I would even prefer to have access to the english version (how is it possible ?)

Pascal.

That is correct. The everything is corrected as soon as I switch from the default UTF-8 to ISO Latin 1 or 2. I am just wondering if there could be any side effect with other uses of the shell ? And by the way, what is the difference between ISO Latin 1 or 2. ?

You should be able to change Terminal's string encoding preference to get it working properly. (its in the Shell pane)

There wont be any serious side effects. It may may some utf formatted text output look incorrect i suppose.
