[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= Is there any other information that I should be providing? I notice that I somehow got the impression that lack of UTF-8 was the cause of my problem, I think, because I knew it was introduced as 'Debian standard' with Etch, and I was still using no locale. With this locale setting as documented above, I notice no change what ever in behavior of displays. But I don't know of a way to do an exhaustive examination. Also, I didn't know running locale would give some useful output. This statement kind of indicates the level of ignorance that people who try to help will be dealing with. -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
