Tim, I had a similar issue but on Windows and cp1250. I started digging in the source and stuck somwhere in 3rd party libraries and I think it was iconv. What helped me then, was explicitly changing the console's encoding with "chcp" command to the one supporting cp1250 encoding. I know it's not related to FreeBSD, but maybe you will find this information somehow usefull :) Regards Piotrek W dniu 21 lutego 2012 19:00 użytkownik Tim Arnold <Tim.Arnold@sas.com>napisał:
