Description:   Opened: 2006-10-05 07:39 0000 
nvi does not use the correct call to read wide characters from a file. I have
patched it and submitted the patch upstream and told the author that I would
also submit the patch to the gentoo developers.

patch to fix unicode read in nvi

I have tried this patch against both the stable version and the soon to be
released eselect version of nvi. It works for me.

While that patch seems sane to me, could you give a quick example of when it is
necessary? (I can use nvi to edit my UTF-8 encoded files, without problems
yet.)

------- Comment #3 From Karl Hakimian 2006-10-06 05:02:55 0000 ------- 
Create a file containing utf-8 characters. Save it. Bring up nvi and then load
that file in via :r file. The utf-8 will be garbled.

Thanks, fixed in 1.81.5-r5. I know that's in package.mask, but eselect-vi is
supposed to be unmasked soon. If it's not, I'll add another non-eselect
revision as well.

Perfect. Thanks.
