Description Artur Brodowski 2003-10-31 13:50:19 UTC 
When Pan saves log to the text file it produces 'iso-from-utf' garbage chars.
(at least for "pl_PL")

Steps to reproduce:
1. generate some events described with national specific chars
2. save log 
3. open the file from any text editor

regards,
artb.

What do you mean by 'iso-from-utf' ?  When I follow your steps, Pan
correctly writes a UTF-8 file.

Are you expecting Pan to write the file in a specific charset?
Comment 2 Artur Brodowski 2003-11-14 10:54:58 UTC 
specific charset is not needed, what i meant was proper encoding.
UTF-8 would be fine, but the file saved by Pan does not look
like correct one:

# file panlog.txt
panlog.txt: Non-ISO extended-ASCII text, with LF, NEL line terminators

for me it looks like output is simply a conversion from ISO-8859-1
txt, but in my case input is ISO-8859-2. 

try this:
step 0 ;)
# export LC_ALL="pl_PL"
# export LANG="pl_PL"
steps 1-3 same as above.

Confirmed:  though the events are written in UTF-8, the date string is
actually in local charset. oops! :)
