Unfortunately, Cygwin has never supported C locales, since it uses the newlib C library (which doesn't support them). Are 5.3 and 5.4+ linked differently? See what "cygcheck nedit.exe" says. I don't know why you'd get different results with the older version, since again locales weren't ever supported. -- Gary R.
