C or POSIX does not match any country code either. FWIW, Debian has patched their glibc fork to remove the charset restriction on the C locale, and added C.UTF-8. It has the advantage of not messing with transliteration as LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 would. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=609306 Best regards, Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk9CFw8ACgkQ+gvH2voEPRBz1ACdG7XqIJ21D9hBA6e+bpKPGiXq AY8An0osz/G2PnzKnAGOLw2q9UzW7ChW =kuR0 -END PGP SIGNATURE-
[gentoo-dev] LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 by default
as subject says could gentoo change the policy and set an UTF-8 environment by default? http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/utf-8.xml how to do it very well but having it already set could have the following two advantages: 1) well utf-8 is everywhere, even the linux weekly newsletter has it in 2012 2) the user need to change, not to create a /etc/env.d/XX-lc, creating a standard place where every gentoo install has this settings. contra? P.S. would be nice to have a wd_WD.UTF-8 with WD standing for world, just a country is so 1900

To support it, we'd have to create the necessary supporting files and that would lead to a lot of work and headaches trying to determine what should be where in what order, et cetera. All of the files we create (ebuilds, initscripts) are UTF-8 in accordance with GLEP 31. So, the issue would be with upstream projects not using UTF-8 for their files. However, the stage 3, last time I used it, didn't default to a UTF-8 environment, and it didn't default to using and/or including a capable UTF-8 font. It is something I think we should look at changing. -- Mr. Aaron W.
