Hi list, using a french locale (fr_FR.UTF-8) breaks printing of floats: IN: scratchpad 3.5 . 3,5.0
This is because the decimal point in french is ",", so the output of (format-float) is "3,5" and fix-float explicitly checks for "." The locale is forced by gtk to the environnement variables. However, the old X11 backend also forced the locale (in basis/x11/x11.factor) so this is should not be new with the gtk backend.. So I guess the best solution is to force LC_NUMERIC to a locale that has a "." as the numeric separator right after gtk_init (for example set_locale LC_NUMERIC "C"). Here's a patch that does that: http://paste.factorcode.org/paste?id=2595 Please feel free to modify/improve the patch...
