As far as I know, nl_NL is using the EURO, and need to use a charset capable of representing the currency symbol. ISO-8859-1 is not able to represent the EURO symbol, so these countries need to use a locale with a different charset. Dutch should because of this use the [EMAIL PROTECTED] locale, not nl_NL. > bubulle seems to feel that there's no real difference and that the locales > without @euro are good enough, but I/m not yet convinced. > However, I know very little about locales :-/ It isn't, if you want strfmon() to work. And you do want strfmon() to work. Trust me on that one. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
