Spanish it's more widely spoken natively than English and ISO-8859-* and it sucked a lot.
Yes, you could map ISO... to ASCII to avoid 'cosas horribles de ver cæmo ⌷stas'. Most words can be read fine without the stress mark in Spanish,
except for some verb conjugations where they look odd without them.
But, reading n instead of 'ñ' gets tiring after a while.
Thank Plan9's gods for UTF-8.
On the rest, a separate comment it's better.
Also:
I use Hyperbola GNU/Linux. UTF-8. IceWM. Rox if bored, or for photo galleries with thumbnails, here a file manager makes sense. Metal2 theme with CDE icons. I liked the aesthetics from late 90's/early 2000's. I still use
gv -smartan
and
mplayer2
But... X.org works. No 30-70h, 50-160v, you know what I mean. Sndio works perfectly, so does ALSA. No encoding issues on switching from English to Spanish making voodoo in order to guess which $ENCODING_OF_THE_DAY does use the Spanish Slashdot clone. Everything works universally. Unifont for the terminal it's a godsend.
