special characters
hello i've got a really annoying problem with special characters. i've installed mandrake 9.1 with kde 3.1. in konqueror, files with special characters (like ä, ö, ü) are displayed correctly, but not in non-kde-apps like xmms or eclipse. someone told me to start xmms from the console with "LC_ALL=de_DE.ISO-8859-15 xmms" which made special characters work in xmms, but it also made the font used by xmms really ugly plus this doesn't work for all apps. then i was told to add the above line (without xmms) to /etc/profile which caused that special chars are displayed ok in non-kde-apps, but konqueror etc. doens't display them. what can i do?? this is a really annoying problem for me!
thanks for your help!
I use this settings:
[code:1]
LC_ALL=de_AT@euro
LANGUAGE=de_AT@euro
LC_TYPE=de_AT@euro
LANG=de_AT.ISO-8859-15
[/code:1]

you mean in /etc/profiles? is there any other config file where such settings could be placed?
I have mine in /etc/environment

Exporting of LANG
Hello all,
I found a nice fix for the messed up console font in RH 8/9.. If you put a line on your .bash_profile, it should fix the problem! (or in /etc/profiles too)
export LANG=C
Wa-la; enjoy!
