Package: libfontconfig1
Version: 2.10.2-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
When the C.UTF-8 locale is used (i.e. LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 or LANG=C.UTF-8),
programs using fontconfig print the message
Fontconfig warning: ignoring C.UTF-8: not a valid language tag
on standard error serveral times. For example, Emacs prints the warning
ten times during startup.
The attached patch fixes the issue for me. It is based on the assumption
that C.UTF-8 should be treated like the other locale names built into the
C library (C and POSIX).
Best regards,
Martin
