Description
Hi, i do a lot of Japanese game to english reinsertion of script and i would need Shift-JIS encoding support to not have to rely on Notepad++ in Wine. Shift-JIS's supported in Fedora and OpenSUSE with an extra package but need to be injected back in other distros. I run Arch Linux and did inject it back into my glibc version. Is there any plan to add it ? I am unsure if the Shift-JIS part of the Fedora package came from FreeBSD.
