After staring at the screen for so long, I didn't notice that when I did cat ~/.i18n as root, I got: LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 but as user1, I got: LANG=ja_JP.UTF8 I should have done a diff, but it's only one damn line...As you suggested, when I added the hyphen, it is fixed. And, now I can finally type Japanese in konsole as well, my first time ever! No more ls then copy/paste for Japanese file names!!! While I get myself massively drunk to celebrate, I will remember to toast you all for your help. Yes, we should add this to the FAQ, or better yet, we should start a documentation project to produce a howto. I would be willing to contribute in English and Japanese. -m PS - There's a "legend" that a missing comma in some NASA FORTRAN code caused the Mariner spacecraft to crash on Venus in the 70's...anyone know if it's true? --
