I asked this question a few weeks ago, so apologies for repeating myself but it's still bugging me like mad... Does anyone know how to set the default character encoding in Gnome Terminal? At the moment it defaults to: 'Current locale - (ANSI_X3.4-1968)' which has nothing to do with my environment/locale. For instance, in a newly opened terminal: dellboy:~$ locale LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8 dellboy:~$ cat /etc/environment en_GB.UTF-8 dellboy:~$ You can't get much more utf-8 than that, and what is the character encoding of this terminal? Yup, you guessed it... If you don't know what I have to do, but you do know of a better place for me to ask this question, that information would be much appreciated too. sdt _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
