In theory yes. In real life no. localedef compiles the locale files for fr_FR to binary data files that assume fr_FR's encoding (ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-15), and therefore refuse to load when the encoding is in fact UTF-8. Any other LC_* variable can however be used to override LANG. Bruno -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
