30 It turns out I was wrong about this. If I type
31
32 # LC_ALL=POSIX oowriter2
33
34 they don't work for me either. Same goes for LC_ALL=C. All other locales on
35 your list from locale -a they do work with. (Except en_GB.utf8 which results
36 in a lot of errors on my system. That's why I use en_US.utf8. If you do wish
37 to use UTF-8 you should follow the guide provided by Gentoo). So try changing
38 your locale to something other than POSIX or C i.e. export LC_ALL=whatever.
39 And start OOo from the prompt.

41 To change your locale permanently you should change /etc/env.d/02locale and
42 run env-update. You only need to set LC_ALL it will all other LC_ variables.
