Terminator

Is it possible to change console charset (encoding) like in Gnome Terminal?

Asked by padys

I need to maintain ISO-8859-1 for my terminal, yet UTF-8 for desktop apps is normal.
After attempting to modify the encoding in the .config/terminator/config file and added:
encoding=ISO-8859-1 I see that when I do a RMB, Edit profile, go to Behaviour, I see the Encoding field contains ISO-8859-1. However, the terminal is not affected until I do a RMB, Encodings and select ISO-8859-1 (UTF-8 is selected).

I am using Ubuntu 9.04 64bit and terminator 0.12-2
Therefore, I believe this question is not really solved, maybe this is a new bug or has already been pointed out.

Regards,
Björn

Not in the currently released 0.8.1, however in the current development version which will be 0.9 in the coming weeks, does have a menu to switch encoding.
