The problem:
KDE doesn't respect locale setting (LANG, LANGUAGE, LC_ALL...)
Description:
1. I installed Mandrake 8.2 using its CD1 and CD2. During its
installation, I chose Simplified Chinese (zh_CN.GB2312) as installation
language, and also chose other languages (includeing en_US) to be
available after installation.
2. After installation, as expected, KDE uses Chinese fonts for
display. Then I decided to switch back to English fonts without much
success: I changed /etc/sysconfig/i18n to use en_US, and I don't have
local .18n; I also changed /etc/menu-methods/lang.h to make lang() and
languages() return en_US only. Now, running "locale" shows the following:
LANG=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
LC_TIME="en_US"
LC_COLLATE="en_US"
LC_MONETARY="en_US"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
LC_PAPER="en_US"
LC_NAME="en_US"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US"
LC_ALL=
Linux virtual console seems to respect this settting. But still, when I
fire up startx, KDE is using Chinese fonts again! What am I missing here?
Any help/suggestion is greatly appreciated!
