Bug 350546 – x11-terms/gnome-terminal-2.32.1 defaults to ANSI charset

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michelangelo Scopelliti 2011-01-04 14:31:12 UTC]

My system is (apparently) UTF-8 aware, but gnome-terminal keeps defaulting on ANSI_X3.4-1968 charset. even if changed manually to UTF-8, next instance goes back to ANSI.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




output of locale:

LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=C
LC_NUMERIC=C
LC_TIME=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_NAME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

First, try a pure LANG=it_IT.UTF-8 env, then narrow it down to the offending var.
Most likely not a bug.

Thank you, you were right. It's not a bug, just an abuse of mine of LC_CTYPE. Since I was asking to not use UTF-8 to interpret chars, the conflict caused the fallback to ANSI.

So, I think this bug can be closed as invalid; thank you again.
