I think that's my problem. > PS: I don't know about Gentoo, since I love my Debian (and it's been a > while since I ran into any locale-specific problems :), but on the > other hand, it shouldn't be problem for you as a Gentoo user to > compile the necessary locale from source, if it's not available in > ebuilds =) Maybe I should know that...:-S... I added «userlocales» to the USE-flags and «de_DE.iso-8859-1/iso-8859-1» to /etc/locales.build - and recomplied glibc. After that I entered: localedef -c -f iso-8859-1 -i de_DE de_DE.iso-8859-1 Now my «locale -a | grep de» gives following output: de_DE [EMAIL PROTECTED] de_DE.iso88591 de_DE.utf8 Where are the dashes left?? But ok, so I enterd: LANG=de_DE.iso88591 lyx (and also I tried:) LANG=de_DE.iso-8859-1 lyx but I still have my problem :-(. Can you tell me, where I made a mistake? Thanks, Henning
