> Confused./etc/locale.gen ought to show something like: en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 rather than what you show in your message. /etc/env.d/02locale can show what you have in your message above, but typically only this is necessary: LANG="en_US.UTF-8" (In mine I also have: LC_TIME="POSIX" and LC_COLLATE="C", but most users wouldn't). -- Regards, Mick
