I guess your problem can fix using LANG=en_US.ISO8859-15. The reason is /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias has en_US.ISO8859-15, but not en_US.ISO-8859-15. This is X11 problem. I reassign it to X11 package. Regards, -- gotom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
