<para>UTF-8 based locales are not supported well by many programs. E.g., the
<command>watch</command> program displays only ASCII characters in UTF-8
locales and has no such restriction in traditional 8-bit locales like en_US.
- Without patches and/or installing software beyond BLFS, in UTF-8 based locales
- you will not be able to do such basic tasks as printing plain-text files from
- the command line, recording Windows-readable CDs with filenames containing
- non-ASCII characters, viewing ID3v1 tags in MP3 files and so on. Work is in
- progress to document and, if possible, fix such problems, see
- <ulink url="&blfs-root;view/svn/introduction/locale-issues.html"/>.
- It is, however, safe to use UTF-8 based locales if you are going to use only
- KDE or GNOME and never open the terminal.</para>
