problems with diacritic characters in fedora8
by Natxo Asenjo 23 Jan '08

23 Jan '08

hi, since fedora8 I have an awkward problem. In an xterm or console session all diacritic characters appear like this: http://www.asenjo.nl/Screenshot-xterm.png that is, they are replaced by blanks. In other applications like openoffice this is not a problem. it is awkward because I am used to using console programs like mutt for my email, so this is something that I come across really often. System settings: language is English; the output of locale is: LC_CTYPE="en_US" LC_NUMERIC="en_US" LC_TIME="en_US" LC_COLLATE="en_US" LC_MONETARY="en_US" LC_MESSAGES="en_US" LC_PAPER="en_US" LC_NAME="en_US" LC_ADDRESS="en_US" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US" LC_ALL= I have changed the system locale to Spanish (Spain) but it does not help (I rebooted the system for the changes to take place). Does anybody know where I could fix this? This has worked perfectly in fedora6 and fedora7, so I am a bit puzzled. -- Groeten, J.Asenjo

Self-Introduction: Asgeir Frimannsson

Hi all, I've been in the background on these lists for years, but just recently signed up as a Fedora contributor. As recommended, here is my humble introduction: I'm Asgeir Frimannsson, I live in Brisbane, Australia.. I am however not very Aussie: I'm half Icelandic, half Norwegian, spent many of my childhood years in Kenya, and now married to a lovely Malaysian-Chinese girl. (That should cover the i18n/l10n aspects of my life) For the last two years I've been persuing my PhD at Queensland University of Technology (QUT), where my research mainly concerns translation reuse. I am also working part-time as a software engineer at Red Hat. I am probably a horrid translator, but I hope to help out in other areas such as improving the translation infrastructure and tools. cheers, asgeir http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AsgeirFrimannsson # GPG KEYID and fingerprint pub 1024D/9CC8C5BD 2008-01-17 [expires: 2011-01-16] Key fingerprint = 0583 40D9 9054 7480 A0E6 C525 3B41 10A3 9CC8 C5BD uid Asgeir Frimannsson <asgeirf(a)redhat.com> sub 2048g/15FF352C 2008-01-17 [expires: 2011-01-16]
