I was going to say that you don't wnat to do that, but on looking a
bit more deeply I can see that for many common West European
languages that will work nicely. The big thing you need to watch
out for is probably the euro symbol (€) - the iso-8859-15 glyph for
that is now the funny-looking 'currency symbol' in UTF-8.
So, for a desktop system try 8859-15 in your .bash_profile so that
a login at the console will use it, and UTF-8 everywhere else
including the LFS sysconfig and /etc/profile.
How you partition the configuration is up to you. Ken's suggestion
would work. One other thought is this:
if [ "$TERM" = linux ]; then
LANG=es_ES.ISO-8859-15
else
LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
fi
For xterms with luit, I think the settings shown in the book should do
the right thing if you put them in the app-defaults or in your
.Xresources:
*VT100*locale: true
Then I think xterm will always set up your terminal appropriately for
the current locale settings.
