Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.0.22
Severity: normal
Hello,
I switched recently to utf8 encoding, but I would like to keep some
terminals as pure iso-8859-1 displays. In utf8-aware terminal, there
are no problems, but accentuated letters typed in iso-8859-1 terminal
are ignored at the shell level.
I proceed as follows:
-launch xterm +u8, which 'bash' as shell. There is nothing about utf8
in .Xressources or .Xdefaults
-stty -a shows the terminal does not support utf8 (-iutf8)
-locale is set as: export LANG=fr_BE.ISO-8859-1
-'locale' report everything is iso-8859-1
- launching programs does not generate any warning about missing
locales
- xorg keyboard configured as 105 keys, Belgian
- xev window show the code generated for é is eacute, 0xe9
- typing 'é' at the bash level does not produce anything, even with
output-meta and convert-meta set to on
- in vi, typing 'é' results in the double char 0xc3 0xa9 (utf-8)
- displaying this file with 'more' shows two graphic chars
- recode utf8..iso-8859-1 file and displaying again with more shows
the right character, 'é'
It seems that the problems results from conflicting locales:
-xterm locales from its environment are utf-8
-bash locales from its environment are iso8859-1
The problem disappears if xterm is launched as
env LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1 xterm
Would it be possible to sort this conflict ?
TIA
