LANG="en_GB" should work. The default value of "en_GB.UTF-8" should also work. Simply create an alias for the man command to work around the UTF-8 issue. I made mine in /etc/bashrc: alias man='LANG="C" man' I've no idea if either of those will sort out the font issues, but it should be a good place to start. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+Ancwn/07WoAb/SsRAqOQAKCsFV2HMF6k/I7VROabkplGc+UbVgCdEwaE hTa4ypBORuYqZMww46rlbBw= =/63r -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
