I'd like to use hunspell
form the command line to spell check a few text files.
The files are utf-8 encoded and contain some umlauts and other strange characters.
Some words show up like this
verlä�~_lich
instead of this
verläßlich
I told hunspell to read the files as utf-8 with -i utf-8
.
I tried to switch the encoding in gnome-terminal.
I tried it in xterm
and xterm -u8
. No success.
It is not a font issue because when I type the strange characters in the terminal they show up fine.
How can I get the strange characters to show up?
