I believe LC_CTYPE is the only one that matters to Xlib (of course LC_ALL overrides it). You might want to check locale.dir and locale.alias files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/ to see if en_CA is mentioned there, and if there's a colon after the first field. I'm not sure which is the newer format, on Debian there are two entries -- one with a colon, another one without: $ cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/ && grep en_CA locale* locale.alias:en_CA en_CA.ISO8859-1 locale.alias:en_CA.iso88591 en_CA.ISO8859-1 locale.alias:en_CA.ISO-8859-1 en_CA.ISO8859-1 locale.alias:en_CA.ISO_8859-1 en_CA.ISO8859-1 locale.alias:en_CA: en_CA.ISO8859-1 locale.alias:en_CA.iso88591: en_CA.ISO8859-1 locale.alias:en_CA.ISO-8859-1: en_CA.ISO8859-1 locale.alias:en_CA.ISO_8859-1: en_CA.ISO8859-1 locale.dir:iso8859-1/XLC_LOCALE en_CA.ISO8859-1 locale.dir:en_US.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE en_CA.UTF-8 locale.dir:iso8859-1/XLC_LOCALE: en_CA.ISO8859-1 locale.dir:en_US.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE: en_CA.UTF-8 (I'm running XFree86 4.2.1.1, can't say anything about 4.2.99.3). > > > Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C That's the error message you get if you set LC_ALL/LC_CTYPE to something nonsensical. > > > Warning: X locale modifiers not supported, using default That's interesting, do you have XMODIFIERS in your environment? > > > Warning: app-defaults file not properly installed. This is starting to smell like a broken X installation. I think X is looking for its files in the wrong places. To alleviate your locale problems you might want to try setting XLOCALEDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale > > > Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset Most likely this is caused by missing locale files.
