I am using xterm. My settings look like
uccellina:~!54> locale
LANG=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
LC_TIME="en_US"
LC_COLLATE="en_US"
LC_MONETARY="en_US"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
LC_PAPER="en_US"
LC_NAME="en_US"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US"
LC_ALL=
This works perfectly as expected. Setting the default to en_US.UTF-8,
however, doesn't. It destroys the layout of the xtitle for my xterms.
Thanks again!
wbr,
Lukas
