Using UTF-8 locales is good, it enables more languages to be rendered if the available fonts support them. But for firefox I suspect that the .utf8 form is not being recognized as valid and/or installed. If so, it is a Python problem (they moved to using python-2.7 for the configure script in FF47 or FF48) : if I use either form in LC_ALL=... date I get the same form of result : 2016年 10月 15日 星期六 05:16:18 BST 2016年 10月 15日 星期六 05:16:25 BST so in general both .utf8 and .UTF-8 work. ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
