What I discovered was that the problem in the IJS interface was the decimal "," instead of a "." (I don't remember abny other problems with the locale stuff). So LC_NUMERIC should work. I don´t really know why I have used LC_ALL. But test it to be absolutely sure. I'm willing to make that change in 5.0 if there's anyone around to test it thoroughly (I don't use the IJS driver myself). As for the Postscript driver in both 4.2 and 5.0, Frank needs to test my patch. If that solves his problem, I'll certainly put it in 4.2.7. I don't think 4.2.7 will be out in time for the GIMP 2.0 release, based on the timeline I'm seeing. We're gated by an OS X issue. I think that everything else we need is already in (other than this one problem that Frank reported). -- Robert Krawitz <rlk@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail lpf@xxxxxxxxxxxx Project lead for Gimp Print -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton
