So I conclude that the charset conversion code in unzip is indeed quite right.
Ok. Perhaps its a font problem with Mandrake 7.1.
Maybe. In this case, it might help to distinguish between a charset (basically, a mapping between characters and numbers) and a font (particular shapes of letters etc.).
I have just had a cursory look at the Info-Zip sources. There is no portable continuation that I can see, but rather a whole load if IFDEFs, and, surprise surprise, the win32 conversions use the OEMToxxx API calls.
My tentative conclusion is that there is no portable way to do this. I guess I have to use IFDEFs and platform-specific calls after all. I thought there might be a portable GNU library for this, but there obviously isn't one.
