When setting up debian-etch, my intent was to do LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15, but for some reason I ended up only with en_US.UTF-8. Don't know why I chose that. In fiddling with this, I discovered that if I run dpkg-reconfigure as sudo ($ sudo dpkg-reconfiogure locale), it fails (perl: waring: Setting locale failed). Turns out that I had to do it from a root command line ($ su, etc.) Now I have en_US as my locale, but the problem displaying accented characters in my browser still persists. I restarted the browser, but perhaps may have to log out for the change in locales to take effect. I can't log out while writing this message, and, besides, I had assumed that the value of Locale only affected the user interface, not the display of characters. -- Haines Brown, KB1GRM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
