Hi,
It seems that setting LC_CTYPE to ISO-8859-1 does not work for
choosing a this specific charset, while setting it to "french"
works.
Starting with an empty locale setting:
$ locale
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=
$ LC_CTYPE=ISO-8859-1 locale
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE=ISO-8859-1
LC_NUMERIC="C"
[...]
$ LC_CTYPE=ISO-8859-1 perl
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LC_CTYPE = "ISO-8859-1",
LANG = "C"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
$ LC_CTYPE=french perl
# OK
^D
$
Note that is is not perl specific. This started to bite me after I
discovered that the default encoding in a JVM was ascii, although I
expected it to be ISO-8859-1.
For instance, running a program that lists the system properties:
$ LC_CTYPE=ISO-8859-1 java -jar ~/Nice/tmp/test.jar
file.encoding = ANSI_X3.4-1968
$ LC_CTYPE=french java -jar ~/Nice/tmp/test.jar
file.encoding = ISO-8859-1

OK, I am convinced that this is not a bug, so I close this report. I
wrote to the maintainer of the keyboard and console HOWTO I refered to,
so that he can update the suggesteed syntax.
Thanks for your answers and your great job.
Daniel
