The LC_ALL command above did not work, giving the following error messages: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I18N: X Window System doesn't support locale "en_GB.ISO-8859-15" |
| 16 |
Qt: Locales not supported on X server |
| 17 |

Checked out my defined locales with locale -a |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
C |
| 21 |
en_GB |
| 22 |
en_GB.iso885915 |
| 23 |
en_GB.utf8 |
| 24 |
en_US |
| 25 |
en_US.iso885915 |
| 26 |
en_US.utf8 |
| 27 |
POSIX |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
LC_ALL=en_GB.iso885915 oowriter2 works fine. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
In fact, all the above locales except for C and POSIX work fine in |
| 32 |
OpenOffice. It seems that OOo does not depend on a utf8 locale, but does |
| 33 |
needs a local other the C or POSIX. |
