put in /etc/environment LANG="en_US" and all should be rosy. I think the problem is your language environment is defined as "C" == ASCII, but your characterset is iso-8859-1. I'd leave the rest of the LC_ variables alone unless there's some compelling reason to set them (LANG will force appropriate interpretations). One of the man pages has a good discussion of these variables (I thought it was locale, but it's very terse and doesn't mention LANG). -- +----------------------------------------------------+ | Eric G.
