Hello, >what dose your /etc/sysconfig/i18n looks like? The contents of the file is LANG="en_US.UTF-8" SUPPORTED="de_CH.UTF-8:de_CH:de:fr_CH.UTF-8:fr_CH:fr:en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en" SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16" I must say that on one machine if I select from KDE window menu Settings ---->Encoding ----> Western European(iso 8659-1) then I can Print correctly the German Character. But on another machine I donot see this "Encoding" menu. What I have missed during my OS installation?
