It would/should be the same with mine. Have you made sure: |
13 |
|
14 |
en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8 |
15 |
|
16 |
is in your /etc/locale.gen and have you run locale-gen thereafter? |

Yes, this looks odd, but I have not worked out how locale is sourced in |
55 |
detail. Have you added: |
56 |
|
57 |
LANG="en_GB.UTF-8" |
58 |
|
59 |
in your /etc/env.d/02locale for a system wide setting? |
