Dear LyXers,
I have been using LyX, as well as writing programs using
the XForms myself, for quite a while under the LC_ALL=it_IT locale
specifier.
Until XForms version 0.88, all was OK. Since XForms 0.89, I started to
observe that all programs using them would be writing floats using the
COMMA as the decimal separator, yielding a number of problems (in LyX,
big problems with the preferences, as the font sizes are
written as x,00 instead as x.00 and this is misinterpreted
when reading--many font sizes being reset to zero.......).
I solved the relevant problems like this:
In my programs: by calling setenv("LC_ALL", "POSIX", 1);
In lyx: by aliasing LyX as lyx="export LC_ALL=POSIX;lyx" which,
unfortunately, also changes the language used in the menus, as well as a
number of bindings I was used to.
Is there a "specialized" locale only for numerals? limiting the locale
change to LC_NUMERIC=POSIX does NOT work!
Thanks al lot in advance!
