I recently tried this again in feisty. It failed differently, but in much the same way. Now localized characters like "æ", "ø" and "å" do not come out at all, and "~" works as a dead key, but ONLY when followed by space. "ñ" is impossible to write.
Since opening this bug report, I have been using UTF-8 for a long time without problems. After the initial conversion, everything has worked smoothly. Really, I see no reason to keep this bug open if ISO8859-1 is not officially supported. If it is officially supported, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to have a configuration scenario where the user can actually select it without hacking config files.. ;-) -- Bitrot in locale support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/51071 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
