Above method does work reliably. Only 1 of my Ubuntus will not accept it - but then it isn't reading the current default locale of en_GB.UTF-8 either which is why its resorting to ANSI(ASCII). I might try just reinstalling Gnome Terminal. The Ubuntu in question is a 6.06 LTS - but then others of these work OK.
Still it would be nice to have a Character Set option in GT Profiles. -- 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
