Yes, many of the UTF-8 locales in FreeBSD simply point to the ASCII versions which doesn't exactly work very well. > But I have also tried ISO-5589-, ISO-8859-15 and others. No change. > May I take an LC_COLLATE file from another system and use this? Only another FreeBSD system, these files are not portable. However, the source files for these are plain text so you can edit them. I beleive the source is in the C library. Find the source files, edit them and recompile. Then just copy the LC_COLLATE file over. You might also want to look at some of the other predefined locale collate orders, maybe someone has put some effert in getting an order right for another language.
