That's the setting I used first. From my first email: [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ cat /etc/locale.conf LANG=en_US.UTF-8 Then I edited it: [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ sudo nano /etc/locale.conf [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ cat /etc/locale.conf LANG=en_US.utf8 However, I can't find anything in $HOME overwriting the settings: [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ cat .profile .bashrc .xprofile cat: .profile: No such file or directory # # ~/.bashrc # # If not running interactively, don't do anything [[ $- != *i* ]] && return alias ls='ls --color=auto' PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ ' export EDITOR="nano" cat: .xprofile: No such file or directory I'm running $ pacman -Q openbox openbox 3.5.2-7 and I don't see anything related in openbox's config, the panel's config gtk2 and 3 and Trolltech configs. I verified [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ ls -hAl /etc/locale* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16 May 29 14:01 /etc/locale.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9.1K Feb 17 2013 /etc/locale.gen -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9.4K Feb 7 10:07 /etc/locale.gen.pacnew Oops, and changed it too [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ ls -hAl /etc/locale* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16 May 29 14:01 /etc/locale.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9.4K Feb 7 10:07 /etc/locale.gen -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9.1K Feb 17 2013 /etc/locale.gen.old I edited the new local.gen and run [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ sudo locale-gen Generating locales... de_DE.UTF-8... done de_DE.ISO-8859-1... done de_DE.ISO-8859-15@euro... done en_GB.UTF-8... done en_GB.ISO-8859-1... done en_US.UTF-8... done en_US.ISO-8859-1... done Generation complete. but I got [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ locale -a C de_DE de_DE@euro de_DE.iso88591 de_DE.iso885915@euro de_DE.utf8 deutsch en_GB en_GB.iso88591 en_GB.utf8 en_US en_US.iso88591 en_US.utf8 german POSIX "The locale to be used, chosen among the previously generated ones, is set in locale.conf files, each of which must contain a new-line separated list of environment variable assignments, for example:" - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Locale#Setting_the_locale So no UTF-8 was generated, it's the same as I had before, when neither /etc/locale.conf LANG=en_US.utf8 nor $ cat /etc/locale.conf LANG=en_US.UTF-8 did work.
