Sparing you the details as requested: In general, you want to be using |
| 21 |
a locale that ends with ".UTF-8" to avoid encoding issues with |
| 22 |
software like python and subversion. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The handbook documents setting a system-wide default locale. You |
| 25 |
generally do this by setting the LANG variable in |
| 26 |
/etc/conf.d/02locale. |
