A permanent config for the character set would be very useful. It has long been a feature of PuTTY (Terminal > Translation > Chr Set). It would be best set in Profiles (similar to PuTTY's saved session) rather than globally, because its often required only for some specific purpose.
The only way I have been able to do this so far, as suggested in http://osdir.com/ml/gnome.os.redhat/2002-10/msg00022.html, is to first setup the required locale eg: via: $ sudo locale-gen en_GB.ISO-8859-15 so that the new locale is listed by $ locale -a (as 'en_GB.iso885915'). Then I start GT like:- $ env LC_CTYPE=en_GB.ISO-8859-15 gnome-terminal ... --disable-factory But some of my Ubuntu's are resistant to enabling or using the new locale. Although it is listed by 'locale -a' as above, when I try to start GT as described above I get: "gnome-terminal: 7773: ... locale not supported by C library". And yet I can select the same chr set from GT's Terminal > Set Chr Encoding menu!? One of my GT's also shows its 'Current Locale' as 'ANSI_X3.4-1968' even though this is not listed by 'locale -a' at all!? Any helpful comments about these problems would be much appreciated. -- Cannot change default character encoding https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/3923 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
