Now I will take it more seriously. The FAQ [1] recommends en_US.UTF-8, but en_CA.UTF-8 should also work, because man locale [2] says, | If the value of LC_CTYPE ends in ‘.UTF-8’, programs in the OpenBSD | base system ignore the beginning of it, treating for example | zh_CN.UTF-8 exactly like en_US.UTF-8. I don't know why en_CA.UTF-8 would crash abiword; I wonder if abiword is confused because en_CA.UTF-8 and en_US.UTF-8 are not really different locales in OpenBSD's libc. --George [1] https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq8.html#locales [2] https://man.openbsd.org/man1/locale.1
