"most" = these in EUC-JP

"some" = these in SJIS ;-) sorry for being unclear

Oh, how nice?

*looks*

if test $use_ja_utf8 != no ; then
        AC_DEFINE(EXP_JAPANESEUTF8_SUPPORT)
        AC_CHECK_LIB(iconv,libiconv_open)
fi

Not nice. This library is not in the base installation,
but lynx is. I cannot introduce a dependency on a port
into the base system.

Last time I checked, GNU libiconv was under LGPL. If
someone knows of a free iconv library that works with
lynx, please let me know.

Thanks,
