Termcap/Terminfo & Ncurses

[armen]

This explains why apps run straight through putty didn't experience this
issue.  However when I ran an ncurses app via screen on putty, I
experienced a unique set of character mutations.  SSH on FreeBSD, on the
other hand, gave me its own set of issues, and far more exaggerated ones
at that, whether using screen or not.
In any event, I don't see as I have any particular need for UTF-8
support anywhere in the system, so I suspect I'll be happy with en_US.
I've read that adding
LC_COLLATE="C"
to /etc/sysconfig/i18n will prevent certain gmake-related issues when
specifying LANG=en_US.  Does this seem correct?
Thanks again to everyone for the insight.

PuTTY natively supports UTF-8.
