Does anybody know howto set my env to iso.8859-1 (Latin1)

type the string
% cafe
with the final e being hex-e9 and I get
zsh: command not found: \M-i
which makes sense. It would be nice to see the cafe echoed
with the aigu over the e, but whatever. On both the Gnome Terminal
and the KDE Konsole, zip, nada, nothing. I've tried
Setttings for the Konsole terms. No joy. I don't know where to
mouse and click for Gnome. Oh,and most of the time in vi no Latin1
chars.
Gary,
If you run
% xterm -lc iso-8859-1
you will get what you want, i.e. ISO-8859-1 terminal in UTF-8
environment and Alt+I will produce é. Please read xterm man page for
more explanation on -lc and -en. See also luit(1).
If you really want to change the locale of Gnome/KDE/Xfce from default
UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 (not recommended), then you should appropriately set
LANG and LC_ALL variables in ~/.xinitrc.
Nikola,
Thanks for the clue re xterm. I'm still using CTWM most
places and use xterm exclusively. Sometimes I've been able to
use 8859-1 in vi, sometimes not. Never read the man page (hanging
my head). OTOT, I do have the LC* variables set ... else perl
complains.
...It's time to join the 20th century:)
