Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.4.1.1-1+build1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I strongly wish for an ability to set a default character encoding
without dealing with the LANG environment variable.

Preferably, I wish that a default encoding can be set for each
profile.

If that's difficult for some reason, I wish for an "--encoding"
command-line option.

All solutions I found on the Internet involved setting LANG,
but that affects other aspects than character encoding.
What I need is an ability to change *only* the character
encoding of the terminal.

In the menu, we already have "Terminal" > "Set Character Encoding".
I want THAT ability.

Regards,
Ryo
