What is your locale? (echo $LANG)

Comment 2 Ecmel Ercan 2001-09-10 21:08:54 UTC
en_US

I prefer to use Gnome in English but want to be able to write and read Turkish
ISO-8859-9 chars.

If youu want to use fonts in an encoding other than your current locale's
encoding, you have to go into gnome-terminal preferences and uncheck
the "multibyte support" option. This will break all non-8-bit encodings, because
using fonts from another locale is just an accidental feature of the fact that
all the encodings you care about are 8-bit.

If that doesn't fix it, please reopen the bug.
