By default, the UTF-8 locales aren't available in a Debian installation. To set my locale to UTF-8, I run "dpkg-reconfigure locales" and replaced the ISO-8859-1 entries with UTF-8 ones. But it's possible to have both pt_BR.ISO-8859-1 and pt_BR.UTF-8 in the same system. I also put the following lines in my .bashrc: export LANGUAGE=pt_BR.UTF-8 export LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8 Perhaps the above lines are unnecessary in my case because I no longer have the ISO-8859-1 locale. I also had to change the settings of some applications, and the following web page was useful: http://melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk/~garabik/debian-utf8/HOWTO/howto.html Best regards, Jakson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
