------- Comment #1 From Fredrik Arnerup 2003-05-20 20:58:41 0000 -------

Scribus ebuilds have "registered trademark" symbols ("®") in the DESCRIPTION
field. This symbol is not ASCII. Perhaps portage allows iso-8859-1 chars, but it
will probably cause a problem somewhere.

------- Comment #2 From Markus Bertheau 2003-05-22 16:20:21 0000 -------

It's probably not about portage allowing it or not, because at the time you
write the package description you don't know what charset the user will have
set - only ascii characters should be used, because that is the common
denominator of all charsets.

------- Comment #3 From Scott Minster 2003-08-02 09:04:34 0000 -------

Would something like this be appropriate?
