>		taken into account to determine the actual, local time.  If,
>		for some reason, you need your system clock not to be in UTC,
>		you will need to edit <path>/etc/rc.conf</path> and change the
>		value of <i>CLOCK</i>.

>		<i>ab_CD</i>, where <i>ab</i> is your two letter language code
>		and <i>CD</i> is your two letter country code.  the <i>_CD</i>
>		is left off if your language is only (or primarily) spoken in
>		one country.  <i>LANG</i> can be set in
>		<path>/etc/profile</path> if you want it to take effect
>		system-wide, or in <path>~/.bashrc</path> as a user-specific

>        <body>
>                <p>Getting the Euro symbol to work properly in X is a little
>		bit tougher.  The first thing you should do is change the <i>
>		fixed</i> and <i>variable</i> definitions in
>		<path>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias</path> to end
>		in <i>iso8859-15</i> instead of <i>iso8859-1</i>.

></pre>
>		</p>
>		<p>Some applications use their own font, and you will have to
>		tell them separately to use a font with the Euro symbol.  You
>		can do this at a user-specific level in
>		<path>.Xdefaults</path> (you can copy this file to
>		<path>/etc/skel/</path> for use by new users), or at a global
>		level for any application with a resource file in
>		<path>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/</path> (like xterm).  In
>		these files you generally have to change an existing line,
>		rather than adding a new one.  To change our xterm font, for
>		instance:
><pre caption="setting fonts for xterm">
> <codenote>(in your home directory)</codenote>
> $ <i>echo 'XTerm*font: fixed' >> .Xresources </i>
