my systems encoding setting is utf-8 (afaik). when approaching to improve my typing i wanted to use gtypist or tipptrainer. gtypist doesn't properly recognise my inputs at umlauts. tipptrainer doesn't regognise any input. i think it has to do with my utf-8 settings. i tried manipulating the $LANG but this didn't help. using an non-utf8 terminal also didn't help. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set up a gentoo with utf-8 (use="unicode"?) 2. start gtypist 3. start tipptrainer Actual Results: the programs didn't work Expected Results: recogiesed my input (tipptrainer something, gtypist umlauts)
Same problem with tipptrainer here.

(In reply to comment #1) > LANG="de_DE@euro" > LC_ALL="de_DE.utf8" I think problem in broken environment. can you set LANG to "de_DE.UTF-8" and unset LC_ALL
Thanks for the answer. Actually forgot to add myself to the cc list last time. I probably re-emerged a number of packages in between and when I start tipptrainer now, it reports no problems anymore. But it does not receive any input as described in the first report.
Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen if this is still a problem.
