Hi,
The output of the portindex commands depends on whether the character
set is UTF-8 or, e.g., ISO-8859-1, due to non-ASCII characters in a
description: the number after the port name seems to contain the
number of characters instead of the number of bytes. For instance,
I get:
stardict-xmlittre 310
in ISO-8859-1, but
stardict-xmlittre 308
in UTF-8. Is this difference important?
