Thank you both for your help. > You could try cleaning things up a bit with 'localepurge'
Looking at the package description, this doesn't seem like a good idea. And anyway, my problem isn't that I have too many locales. It seems to be a font problem. > $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales Yes, I have tried this. It resets /etc/locale.gen. > $ cat /etc/default/locale > LANG="en_US.UTF-8" $ cat /etc/default/locale # File generated by update-locale LANG=en_US I get the same result if it's LANG=en_US.UTF-8. > $ env |egrep "(^LC|LANG)" > LANG=en_US.UTF-8 > GDM_LANG=en_US.UTF-8 $ env |egrep "(^LC|LANG)" LANG=en_US > $ cat ~/.dmrc > [Desktop] > Session=gnome $ cat ~/.dmrc [Desktop] Session=default And note that I have $ locale LANG=en_US LC_CTYPE="en_US" LC_NUMERIC="en_US" LC_TIME="en_US" LC_COLLATE="en_US" LC_MONETARY="en_US" LC_MESSAGES="en_US" LC_PAPER="en_US" LC_NAME="en_US" LC_ADDRESS="en_US" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US" LC_ALL= $ locale -a C en_US en_US.iso88591 en_US.utf8 POSIX $ egrep -v '^(#|$)' /etc/locale.gen en_US UTF-8 en_US.ISO-8859-1 ISO-8859-1 en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 All of this is as it's supposed to be. I try switching between en_US and en_US.UTF-8, but it doesn't help. I still see characters such as hyphens (-), boldface pipes, and single quotes rendered as รข (circumflex-a) in my terminal windows. If I set LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1, then the characters are shown correctly. I think this is a font problem, but I just don't know how to diagnose it.
