Hi all, Can anyone tell me how to make utf-8 the default character encoding used by Gnome Terminal at start-up? My /etc/environment reads: en_GB.UTF-8 and my ~/.bash_profile contains the following lines: export LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 # sets all the LC_* variables except LC_ALL export LC_COLLATE=POSIX # req'd for POSIX directory listings export LC_TIME=POSIX # req'd for POSIX time and date format in directory listings ... so my environment is decidedly 'Unicode', (I can't believe LC_COLLATE or LC_TIME affect things), yet the default character encoding in Gnome Terminal at startup is always: Current locale (ANSI_X3.4-1968) The 'Terminal' -> 'Set character encoding' menu contains UTF-8 as an option, but I have to manually choose it every time.
