I use xterm with latest debian unstable (last time I updated on friday) and my locale settings are: % locale LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_TIME="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_NAME="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_ALL=
And I didn't notice any problems with displaying russian unicode symbols in any application. The only exception is epiphany - sometimes it shows two rotated squares with question signs in it instead of random single character. On the same page the same letter in the other places looks as it should. Seems it's only epiphany's bug in unicode locale. When I upgraded last time I had errors while upgrading 'locales' package. "apt-get install -f" solved this problem and 'locales' package was configured properly. -- Best regards, Evgeny mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | UIN:151282865 | JID:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
