A workaround is to use the ISO-8859-5 character set for the system rather than the old Amiga-1251. (this is not an option on OS3) The solution will be to rewrite utf8_from/to_local to use codesets.library instead, which is aware of these old weird character sets. |

A second workaround is to set local_charset:Windows-1251 in choices. This overrides what NetSurf thinks the system charset is, there are minimal differences between Amiga-1251 and Windows-1251 and iconv knows of the latter. |

I removed this as targeted for 3.9 as that release is now and this bug remains unfixed |
