Same problem here. Fresh upgrade from feisty to hardy. My shell is zsh. My locale settings: % locale -a C POSIX en_AU.utf8 en_BW.utf8 en_CA.utf8 en_DK.utf8 en_GB.utf8 en_HK.utf8 en_IE.utf8 en_IN en_NZ.utf8 en_PH.utf8 en_SG.utf8 en_US.utf8 en_ZA.utf8 en_ZW.utf8 nl_BE.utf8 nl_NL.utf8
% cat /etc/environment LANGUAGE="en_US:en_GB:en" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games" Doing a `ssh localhost`: % echo $LANGUAGE en_US:en_GB:en Creating a new gnome-terminal: % echo $LANG C So there is a difference between logging in and creating a new terminal. Gnome-terminal is set to start a login shell. The encoding in gnome-terminal falls back to ANSI, instead of UTF-8 :-( -- [Hardy] gnome-terminal current locale ANSI_X3.4-1968 not unicode using en-gb https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185671 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
