    Yes: HP-UX is known to use uncommon names for charsets, and be
over-picky about those names as parameters. It doesn't accept "UTF-8"
name which is both standard and hardcoded in GnuPG. It wants "utf8".

    There may perhaps be a workaround on the system: Creating an alias
utf-8 to utf8 in /usr/lib/nls/iconv/config.iconv or something like that.
There is an alias section, and comments about the expected format.

    Or install libiconv 1.9.2 to replace HP iconv.

    Fine on an UTF-8 terminal. Broken UID creation and display on a
HP-Roman8 terminal.


Bye!	Alain.
