Re: more internationalization options in /etc/login.conf please

that is what I use for my german users:

german|German Users Accounts:\
        :charset=UTF-8:\
        :lang=de_DE.UTF-8:\
        :tc=default:

I have been using UTF-8 encoding for about a year now everywhere;
combined with an xterm using a good Unicode font and vim I have not
seen problems with that and see much less cases of unreadable garbage
in files. I use the font from x11-fonts/dejavu starting xterm with
parameter -fa 'DejaVu Sans Mono'.
