put in /etc/environment
LANG="en_US"
and all should be rosy. I think the problem is your language environment
is defined as "C" == ASCII, but your characterset is iso-8859-1. I'd
leave the rest of the LC_ variables alone unless there's some compelling
reason to set them (LANG will force appropriate interpretations). One of
the man pages has a good discussion of these variables (I thought it was
locale, but it's very terse and doesn't mention LANG).
