Sorry I sent an earlier version with the incorrect subject. update from earlier: programs like less also have errors reading the swedish characters: less blah abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz<E5><E4><F6> blah (END) <E5><E4><F6> are supposed to be the last 3 letters of the swedish alphabet. Hello and thanks in advance for all help. I recently posted this to the psyche list however I would like to address it in my kickstart and have had no responses on the other list yet. I am migrating a about 50 desktops from Redhat 7.3 to 7.3, and run into problems with the locale settings, due to wanting the the menus and info in English but with Swedish support. Our systems all have Swedish keyboards, however we prefer to have the system in English. In my Kickstart I have set: lang en_US langsupport --default en_US sv_SE which in 7.2 was fine, however in 7.3 gnome-terminal no longer recognizes the last three letters of our alphabet, the non english äåö. xterm works fine. I tried to modify /etc/sysconfig/i18n but have been unable to come up with the proper configuration. The default is: LANG="en_US.iso885915" SUPPORTED="sv_SE.iso885915:sv_SE:sv" SYSFONT="lat0-sun16" SYSFONTACM="iso15" When I set it to (hoping C should encompass everything): LC_ALL="C" LANG="C" SUPPORTED="en_US:sv_SE.iso885915:sv_SE:sv" SYSFONT="lat0-sun16" SYSFONTACM="iso15" I still get: [xxx@xxxx user]# gnome-terminal Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library and the characters not supported. Changing LANG= to sv_SE gives the characters but all menus and such become Swedish, and since we have an international group which consists of many non Swedes that does not work for us. I may be completely off in trying to change the /etc/sysconfig/i18n since it seems the problem is gnome related somehow (xterm is fince with the default) Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks again for all suggestions. Sincerely, Scott Melnyk Stockholm Bioinformatics Center
