As an example, the tr program looks a little disturbed: [nlsn@shiva ~]% export LC_ALL=C [nlsn@shiva ~]% echo bonjoureeetraval|tr a-z n-za-m obawbherrrgeniny [nlsn@shiva ~]% export LC_ALL=fr_FR.ISO8859-15 [nlsn@shiva ~]% echo bonjoureeetraval|tr a-z n-za-m øâáýâférrrëénìnz >How-To-Repeat: Just repeat the sequence of command seen above. I got the same result on another freeBSD box running FreeBSD 5.4 >Fix: Just a work around: set LC_ALL to C if you need to use a program which doesn't work when locale is set to fr_FR-8859-15. Moreover, some other locales work: [nlsn@shiva ~]% export LC_ALL=fr_FR.ISO8859-1 [nlsn@shiva ~]% echo bonjoureeetraval|tr a-z n-za-m øäâzäfèsssëènìná [nlsn@shiva ~]% export LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 [nlsn@shiva ~]% echo bonjoureeetraval|tr a-z n-za-m obawbherrrgeniny >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: >System: FreeBSD shiva.india.ath.cx 5.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #0: Tue May 10 22:42:25 CEST 2005 root@shiva.india.ath.cx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SHIVA i386
