 Posted: Fri Sep 20, 2002 3:12 pm Post subject: Gnome 2.0.2 National Characters |
 |
|
So I emerged Spiders' shiny new gnome 2.0.2 ebuild. After restarting X I had no national characters in gnome-terminal. Duh, I thought, I have to export KEYMAP="se-latin1" to get that. So I did the export, still no joy. Instead of national characters the terminal just echoes spaces.
So what's a national character to do? Apart from reverting to gnome-terminal 2.0.0-r1? |

What language are you using in apps?
I had the same problem as you when I had installed Gnome 2.0.2.
I am using english in my applications but I need to be able to type and see swedish charachters.
The solution was to explicitly choose american english in gdm and save that as default. Then gnome used the ISO-8859-1 (or whatever) instead of the ASCII-default. Dunno why that is default. |

Thanks, that did the trick. Apparently something about the handling of the POSIX locale has changed in 2.0.2. |
