Can you add information about your current locale (echo $LANG)?

Comment 2 P Jones 2002-08-04 16:59:09 UTC

I've tried it with en_US.iso885915 and en_GB (modified $GDM_LANG and restarted X).  
Actually, I'm not really sure where $GDM_LANG is supposed to be set, so I set it
in ~/.i18n.  I noted that /etc/profile.d/lang.sh overrides $LANG with $GDM_LANG,
but can't find where it gets $GDM_LANG from in the first place.
[root@blip etc]# grep GDM_LANG $(find) -c | grep -v :0$
./X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/xinput:2
./profile.d/lang.csh:2
./profile.d/lang.sh:2
But it's SET in none of these.

Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2002-08-04 17:08:37 UTC

GDM_LANG is set by gdm.

Note that the default en_US locale is en_US.UTF-8 not iso885915; 
the problem is possibly a mismatch where the X server is sending UTF-8.

Comment 4 P Jones 2002-08-04 18:58:04 UTC

Ok. for some, unknown reason, it wasn't setting $GDM_LANG to that- I selected
American English manualy and it did set $GDM_LANG (and thus $LANG) to
en_US.UTF-8, but it still mis-displaied the char.

Comment 5 P Jones 2002-08-04 19:06:38 UTC

as a side note, AltGr-. and Compose-.-. seem to both give the centered dot
(0xC2B7) in xterm, while in Gnome-terminal Compose-.-. gives 0xCB99 (a centered
dot) and AltGr-. does the 0xC2B7 ( The Wedge)

Comment 6 P Jones 2002-08-04 20:30:21 UTC

a few other things along the same vein that don't work are Non-Breaking space (
d compose-SPACE-SPACE d should be three non-whitespace letters) Compose-1-2
should give =, and Compose-1-4 should <.  

The Compose-.-. in my previous message looks more raised then centered, but I'd
be willing to beleive that's a font thing.

Comment 7 Ray Strode [halfline] 2004-11-10 20:15:24 UTC

This looks fixed now.
