Yes, this works for me. And by specifying all LC_*'s but LC_ALL in /etc/envirinment I got xterm working with scands, too.
Now my /etc/environment looks like LANG=C LC_CTYPE=fi_FI@euro LC_NUMERIC=fi_FI@euro LC_TIME=fi_FI@euro LC_COLLATE=fi_FI@euro LC_MONETARY=fi_FI@euro LC_MESSAGES=C LC_PAPER=fi_FI@euro LC_NAME=fi_FI@euro LC_ADDRESS=fi_FI@euro LC_TELEPHONE=fi_FI@euro LC_MEASUREMENT=fi_FI@euro LC_IDENTIFICATION=fi_FI@euro And 'locale' in ANY terminal or console gives the same.Stefan: You might try replacing all "fi_FI" instances with "de_DE", and see if this could fix your man page problem (NOTE: LC_MESSAGES=C).
This also fixed a problem where backspace printed some weird stuff in the login prompt.
BUT: One thing got even more messed up now: euro support. Now I am unable to print the euro symbol in both X and consoles/terminals. Even the euro-test program can't make it work (it did before).
Another thing is funny, though: my slashes (/ and \) are as high as non-capital letters, cute! :).
Thanks everyone for your help!I sent a short note about separating keymap and language during package configuration to Ben Collins.
