So why 'locale -a' tells me that the available locale has "utf8" at the |
17 |
end, while the file in /usr/share/i18n/ tells me its capital leters |
18 |
"UTF-8"? And all documentation I can remember tells me to use ".UTF-8", |
19 |
I've never in my life seen ".utf8" before, I use locales with ".UTF-8" |
20 |
ending on Debian since ages, why here is this strange lowercase "utf8" |
21 |
in one place, and how did it happen to get there? |

24 |
tells to use capital "UTF-8" |
25 |
|
26 |
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/utf-8.xml |
27 |
shows that 'locale -a' should output capital "UTF-8" |
28 |
|

However I still don't know how to solve the problem, I changed the text |
30 |
in /etc/env.d/02locale to "en_DK.utf8", then run |
31 |
env-update && source /etc/profile |
32 |
and rebooted the machine after that just to be sure, but that didn't fix |
33 |
the problem - UTF-8 files don't work when 'cat', and starting an xterm |
34 |
still shows "Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C". |
35 |
Only now "locale" command shows the lowercase version. |
36 |
|
37 |
I did read the above URL's, and |
38 |
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml |
39 |
and I am out of ideas. What a mess... and I didn't ever before anywhere |
40 |
enter ".utf8" ending in the locale while installing this system, nor in |
41 |
my life, so it's not me who messed it up! I did how all the manuals |
42 |
showed - uppercase .UTF-8 |
43 |
|
44 |
Is there any hope for me, or should I reinstall Gentoo from scratch, |
45 |
to a blank disk, and pray that my locales will work after that? However |
46 |
I'm sceptical that will produce any different result than I have, |
47 |
because I'll probably do everything exactly as I did now. |
