Re: UTF-8@euro locales not supported by gnome-session?



It's not the same:

fi_FI.UTF-8 is just an UTF-8 rewrite of the old fi_FI.ISO-8859-1 rules.
Meanwhile fi_FI.UTF-8@euro is a rewrite of fi_FI.ISO-8859-15 rules. 

They each make different asusmptions about what is the correct currency for the
country and about which characters are admissible in the Finnish alphabet.
