Setting LC_ALL is just a shortcut to set all the LC_* variables to the same locale at once. > I use rxvt-unicode and can see special > characters except inside GNU Screen for some reason. Maybe screen runs a different shell on your system and/or does not get initialized the same way as your normal shell. Run "locale" from within screen to check if the settings are correct. > How do I set LC_ALL > the `debian way'? The system-wide locale settings are in /etc/default/locale or /etc/environment. (I think /etc/environment is depreciated these days.) See also "man update-locale". If you want to customize the settings on a per-user basis then you have to make sure that each user's shell(s) get initialized as desired and that the relevant LC_* environmental variables are set correctly for all X applications. (How to do the X part depends on how you start X and which DE you use.) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
