It works when using utf-8 characters. Simple test case (assuming iso-8859-1 or iso-8859-15 is your default locale) - launch Gnumeric - type some text with non-ascii characters in a cell, e.g. "éléphant" - export the sheet as a text file Book1.csv - close the file - re-import Book1.csv as a text file : it fails (wrong character) Now the same test case but using utf-8 : - launch "LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 Gnumeric" (or LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8, etc.) - type some text with non-ascii characters in a cell, e.g. "éléphant" - export the sheet as a text file Book1-utf8.csv - close the file - re-import Book1-utf8.csv as a text file : it succeeds This bug was first filed as a generic Gnumeric bug (http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110182), but it seems the mainline version works ok, so I think this bug is Mandrake-related. It only appeared with Mandrake 9.1, it was fine before. Also, I have no locale problems in other programs. Using native Gnumeric files is ok. I am attaching files for the two test cases mentioned above.
