Okay, this is crazy. Now I can't reproduce it myself either: I just
repeated the procedure and date parsing works as expected. The only
difference with my last email is that I upgraded and rebooted my system
(there was a kernel update for 4.0.4 on Arch... Among other things). I
guess that would have reset my keyboard layout, but I swear I tested it
multiple times over a few days before posting here.
Anyway, thanks for your insight I would have never figured this myself.
I'll be wary of silent unicode character substitution :)
Just for the record:
$ localectl
System Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF8
VC Keymap: fr
X11 Layout: fr
X11 Variant: oss
And I am using the default monospace font in gnome-terminal and gedit.
Pretty basic stuff, really.
Thanks again,
Bastien
