Decide yourself. But understand that sooner or later, the "C" and "POSIX" locales will be extended from "ASCII" to "UTF-8", and then you will be faced with a backwards incompatible change if you had ISO 8859-1 in "C" so far. Backwards compatibility with a future extension of "C"/ "POSIX" to "UTF-8" is the reason for why under glibc 2.2, "C" is explicitely ASCII and not "ISO�8859-1" at the moment. Markus -- Markus G.
