Your obviously right!
Another problem is that Lynx utf-8 support is very poor, it does not
break lines on number of character, instead breaks on number of bytes,
I didn't mean that farsi does everything, but the output is quite
interesting and usable, also `LESSCHARSET=UTF-8 less filename' also
works great, so does `pine'.
