8859-15 does not seem to like that. Not sure if this is a GTK bug and the chars should get converted somehow.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

How do you generate that 8859-15 locale? The standard locales are UTF-8

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

I've forwarded it upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411586

[sven.nordblad (sven-nordblad)]

Hello Sebastien,

This is how I do it:

my_script.sh:
sudo cp local /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local
sudo cp environment /etc/environment
sudo dpkg-reconfigure --force locales

local:
sv_SE.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15
sv_SE.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

environment:
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games"
LANG="sv_SE.ISO-8859-15"

It would be really nice if there was an new option in the
control-panel to do this kind of adjustments.

And another thing ...

I am migrating from an old red Hat installation but wan't to take with
me my userid of 500 and group-id of 500 which is standard in Red Hat.
However when I add user-id 500 i the control-panel I can add the user
but I can't modify it later since the useradministration menu don't
show lower values than 500. This goes for Ubuntu 6.10 also.

Best regards
Sven

The uid problem is know and a gnome-system-tools request. The gnome-control-center has been forwarded upstream, do you really need to use a non-utf-8 locale though?

[sven.nordblad (sven-nordblad)]

Hello Sebastien,

Thank you for your prompt answer. And - yes - at least I do need to
use the ISO-8859 locale for a forms server application. This
application runs not only on Ubuntu but in MS Windows from Windows
Server 2000 up to Windows Vista as well as on Vax VMS. The application
uses the HP printers in PCL-5 mode as well as other applications for
PDF-conversion and so on and so on. It will certanly take a long time
before all environments in the world outside is adapted to UTF-8. So I
do think it is to early to put away all other locales than the UTF-8.

It also wery practical - even if there are solutions to that - to be
able to use ISO-8859 in my own evironment which consists of different
PC:s running MS windows, a Red Hat 7.1 server, a couple of Ubuntu
Linux and an old (very reliable) IBM AIX server.

If this is to big a problem perhaps Ubuntu could let the
control-center fall back on pure english menuetexts when problems with
translation to swedish arrise - rather than core-dump !?

Best regards
Sven

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

that's a bug and will be fixed, it's low priority though because your are using an alternative local

[sven.nordblad (sven-nordblad)]

Hello Sebastien,

If it takes time to fix it is OK for me.
