I'm unable to use extended (french) characters (in the range 128-255, used in most non-english countries) in gnome-terminal, it's working with gnome-terminal under RedHat, and with xterm under gentoo. When I try to type a 'é', it is not send to the running program or shell When I 'cat' a file with thoses characters, they are not displayed.

what gnome-terminal are we talking about exactly ?
$ /usr/bin/gnome-terminal --version Gnome gnome-terminal 2.2.1 In gnome-terminal: $ echo -e \\351 \\352 ? ? In xterm: $ echo -e \\351 \\352

This works for me, what are your font settings? and the output of "locale" would be nice same version, font: Luxi Mono 8, and works perfectly (once I've started bash which has a echo -e command ;)
bash-2.05b$ locale LANG=POSIX LC_CTYPE="POSIX" LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" LC_MONETARY="POSIX" LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" LC_PAPER="POSIX" LC_NAME="POSIX" LC_ADDRESS="POSIX" LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX" LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" LC_ALL= Where can I change this for users, in /etc/profile ? (font is the default for Gnome: Sans Regular 11) Another bug??: When switching Terminal/Character Coding/Unicode (UTF-8) I can put extended characters as expected, but to delete on, I have to use backspace two times, (thoses characters are coded on 2 bytes), cursor is then going back two times, and visually, two characters are delete, in buffer, only one (extended) is.
spider or ska-fan localization guys, please have another look here and close if appropriate.

Sébastien: Please try to run LANG=fr_FR gnome-terminal and see if your accents work there.
In gnome-terminal: LANG=fr_FR => Does not work In gnome-terminal: LC_ALL=fr_FR => Does not work In a shell: export LANG=fr_FR; gnome-terminal => Does not work in new gnome-terminal window In a shell: export LC_ALL=fr_FR; gnome-terminal => Does not work in new gnome-terminal window
ok, you shouldnt start trying that from a gnome-terminal. You should run an xterm, make sure there are no gnome-terminals running and then try to run gnome-terminal with said settings. Only then it will use those settings. With the settings mentioned above i could echo the above mentioned chars just fine.
probably works right, usd wrong settings
