The author of the locale asked us to talk to Indrek, and Indrek verifies the change. Here is a patch to do the change. Another alternative is to add '[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ISO-8859-15 to the SUPPORTED file. I'm not sure if that is better then just changing the charset. 2004-01-01 Petter Reinholdtsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * SUPPORTED: Change default charset for et_EE locale from ISO-8859-1 to ISO-8859-15, to reflect the content of <URL:http://www.eki.ee/itstandard/contents.html>. Based on input from Indrek Hein and Meelis Roos. * locales/et_EE: Likewise.
