This is in the way of a partial followup to an earlier query of mine about locales and locale definitions ...
I managed to change LC_ALL back to what I understand to be the default value, "C" ... HOWEVER, I'm experiencing some weird substitutions in Netscape. Simple-ish international characters from languages like French and Spanish are being replaced by Chinese characters. A good example is the "This page is also available in the following languages" row at the bottom of the http://www.debian.org page. If <C> is understood to represent a Chinese character, what I see on my screen instead of "Espanol" is "Espa<C>l" ... and what I see instead of "Francais" is "Fran<C>is". This even appears when I view source for the page. It seems that pairs of characters are being interpreted as Chinese, which makes sense when you realize that Asian character sets are double-byte. But why is this replacement happening, and how can I keep it from happening? Thanks in advance for any enlightenment. I will cross post on some of the i18n lists.
