But... przehyba ~ # cat /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED | grep en | grep DK en_DK.UTF-8 UTF-8 en_DK ISO-8859-1 przehyba ~ # So why 'locale -a' tells me that the available locale has "utf8" at the end, while the file in /usr/share/i18n/ tells me its capital leters "UTF-8"? And all documentation I can remember tells me to use ".UTF-8", I've never in my life seen ".utf8" before, I use locales with ".UTF-8" ending on Debian since ages, why here is this strange lowercase "utf8" in one place, and how did it happen to get there? http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=6 tells to use capital "UTF-8" http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/utf-8.xml shows that 'locale -a' should output capital "UTF-8" However I still don't know how to solve the problem, I changed the text in /etc/env.d/02locale to "en_DK.utf8", then run env-update && source /etc/profile and rebooted the machine after that just to be sure, but that didn't fix the problem - UTF-8 files don't work when 'cat', and starting an xterm still shows "Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C". Only now "locale" command shows the lowercase version. I did read the above URL's, and http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml and I am out of ideas. What a mess... and I didn't ever before anywhere enter ".utf8" ending in the locale while installing this system, nor in my life, so it's not me who messed it up! I did how all the manuals showed - uppercase .UTF-8 Is there any hope for me, or should I reinstall Gentoo from scratch, to a blank disk, and pray that my locales will work after that? However I'm sceptical that will produce any different result than I have, because I'll probably do everything exactly as I did now. -- Miernik http://miernik.name/
