Well, it was all the problem of having en_DK, I changed it to en_US.UTF-8 and all works OK now. However I wanted _DK to have the locale date in the form 2008-07-19 and not 07/21/2008. Anyway, why is this we have to choose a territory for our language, I do not live in any english-speaking territory, nor it is Denmark, and I don't want to put on my computer on what territory I live, as it is none of it's business. Couldn't there be something like POSIX.UTF-8 locale, or maybe make the POSIX locale be UTF-8 by default? Or C.UTF-8 I would be very happy not having to put any specific country in the settings of my computer. And ordering of date - what does that have to do with territory and language? I don't care what territory has what ordering commonly used - I want to have it in form 2008-07-19, is there a way to do it? -- Miernik http://miernik.name/
