Except that MacOS X *applications* (as apart from more POSIXy programs, and Terminal.app) should not use the POSIX locales, but should use the CLDR locales (via an Apple API or via ICU)... (Yes, I know, CLDR have POSIX locales format files covering **some** of the CLDR data...)
And ISO 8859-15? Really? I don't even find it in the list of encodings Terminal.app supports (but maybe that is just me not finding it). Terminal.app by default uses UTF-8. /K Den 2012-01-02 20:10, skrev "Steffen Daode Nurpmeso" <sdao...@googlemail.com>: > Hi, > >>> How?
