In my opinion we should set a default environment with the following values: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 |
| 11 |
LC_ALL= |
| 12 |
LC_COLLATE=C |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
This offers the best default options to the majority of users, and is |
| 15 |
easy to customize for those who wish to use another locale. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
And yes, LC_ALL needs to be empty, because it would override the other |
| 18 |
LC_* values. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
This should be combined with some good unicode fonts, such as the |
| 21 |
LatCyrGr-16 for console, and dejavu for X. |
