I emerged gnome followed by the local set-up as indicated in the dpocumentation (Gentoo Linux Localization Guide). I then emerged open office (USE="-kde doc"). When running "oowriter" I could either get the or diacritics (é,ê,ã,..) but never both at the same time. I also could not get "gnome-terminal" and "xterm" to function correctly but never simultaneously. Gedit worked always but showed an error. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.export LC_ALL="pt_PT" oowrite 2.export LC_ALL="pt_PT@euro" oowrite 3.export LC_ALL="pt_PT@euro" gedit Note: LANG and LANGUAGE where set to en_GB@euro (no problem here). Actual Results: Step 1: could write é,ê,ã, etc., could _not_ get Step 2: error = "I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale "pt_PT@euro"" could _not_ write é,ê,ã, etc., could get Step 3: edit:9094): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. Expected Results: I expected to be able to use diacritics and at the same time. Comment: I realize this is not a Gentoo BUG "per se". I did read that we should report here, and the Gentoo volunteers would then analize and (if warranted) pass this back to the source of the error. Please _correct_me_ if I am wrong. Solution: The use of diacritics and are available in the font/code page ISO-8859-15. The "@euro" modifier is not recognized by X11 to use the ISO-8859-15 code page. Changing the "fonts.alias" as per documentation is not enough. We mus also change the "locale.alias" and add two entries: - pt_PT@euro pt_PT.ISO885915 - pt_PT@euro: pt_PT.ISO885915 (Solution reported in one of the Gentoo forums) Portage 2.0.50-r9 (default-x86-2004.0, gcc-3.3.3, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r0, 2.6.7-gentoo-r11) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.7-gentoo-r11 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.53GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r3 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i386-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp:///ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ ftp://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo/ http://gentoo.mirror.sdv.fr http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X alsa apm arts avi berkdb cdr crypt cups dvd encode esd foomaticdb gdbm gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 imlib jpeg kde libg++ libwww lirc mad mikmod mmap mmx motif mozilla mpeg ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline sdl slang spell sse ssl svga tcpd tetex truetype x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib"
what versions of X do you use? My locale.alias(xorg-x11-6.7.0-r1) has pt_PT@euro (it has no en_GB@euro instead). gedit seems that works fine with pt_PT@euro.
I cannot get version info right now. But I am using XFree86 (http://www.xfree86.org/) not Xorg (http://www.x.org/). Sorry for the late reply. I will get the info ASAP. Note: when I did not have the "@euro" set to point to the -15 code page, gedit still worked. gnome-terminal didn't. Nor did OOffice.
