Maybe your problem is caused by a discrepancy between locale configuration and installed fonts. Suggestion (should work on Gentoo Linux, please tune to your macosx system): (1) Uninstall locales, which you do not use, e.g. su vim /etc/locale.gen :v/\v^(#|en_(AU|NZ|US)| … )/s/^/# / :wq su /usr/sbin/locale-gen To take effect your GUI (X-server?) probably needs to be restarted. Theoretically your system should become slightly faster, consume slightly less disk space, and become slightly less vulnerable in terms of security … all 3 should not hurt, or what would you say? (2) “locale -a” should list ONLY locales, which you want to use. Install fonts for ANY of the listed locales. Documentation: man locale-gen locale.gen :h xfontset -- Regards Roland Eggner
