[Bug localedata/5464] hp-greek8 not supported


------- Additional Comments From sean at mess dot org  2007-12-10 18:09 -------
This is generated on an HP-UX machine.

1) 
/* l.c */
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        int i;

        for (i=32; i<256; i++)
                printf("%02x: %c\n", i, (char)i);

        return 0;
}

2) HP-UX iconv cannot convert greek8 to utf8 directly.

./l | iconv -f gree8 -t iso897 | iconv -f iso897 -t utf8 > greek8-utf8.txt

3) Then converted the output file to the format described. Names are taken from
unicode NamesList.txt. A little python script came in helpful.

4) Also manually compared to greek8.cm (charmap) from HP-UX,
/usr/lib/nls/loc/charmaps/greek8.cm

Note greek8 is an obsolete encoding:

I've just found a picture of the character set as well:
