Description Chris Ricker 2002-04-06 05:38:59 UTC 
anaconda creates, by default, /etc/sysconfig/i18n with the following contents:

LANG="en_US.iso885915"
SUPPORTED="en_US.iso885915:en_US:en"
SYSFONT="lat0-sun16"
SYSFONTACM="iso15"

This causes major problems with X.  The window manager I use (fluxbox) would not
start (reporting errors about X not supporting the specified locale),
applications reported failures loading default fonts, etc.  It acted as if the
locale en_US.iso885915 was bogus.  After I edited /etc/sysconfig/i18n and
changed all en_US.iso885915 to just en_US, everything worked correctly.
