I'll keep things set to use LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1, hopefully everything will continue to work. thanks Jay ps. I wish kmail would reply to the list as well as to the other as a default.

Some people's names, particularly in Debian changelogs, with diacritics may not show properly. Of course the advantage is that links, links2 and elinks all look much nicer when you're not in UTF-8 for some reason. --Ken -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment.

This can be reconfigured by running dpkg-reconfigure locales and selecting the appropriate locales to generate. --Ken -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment.

Re: [vox-tech] Funny characters in aterm on kubuntu
Additional info. Its weird, when I do [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ env | egrep '^LC|LANG' LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en in my regular xterm, I'm set to UTF-8. But everything works fine. When I go and: export LANG=en.ISO-8859-1 in my aterm I run man, and things display correctly but I get an error man: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct Reformatting bash(1), please wait... thanks Jay ___ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech

Sounds like probably an encoding problem. What character set does aterm expect to be using? UTF-8? Most manpages assume ISO-8859-1, I believe.

[vox-tech] Funny characters in aterm on kubuntu
Hi all, I'm running Kubuntu breezy. I've installed aterm [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ aterm -V aterm version 0.4.2 When I use "man" or "perldoc" I get funny characters in the output. Most (99%) of the output is normal but ever so often there is a funny character embedded in the output. It seems like it happens mostly (but not exclusively) at the end of a line. Regular xterm outputs perfectly. Can anyone suggest some things to try to fix this? Thanks Jay ___ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
