Hello, I've been having alot of problems with encodings/language etc. In short, there's no such problem on winXP - in control panel/Reagional and Language Options I set this options: Standards and Formats (locale): English Language for non-unicode programs: Russian and I'd like to get the same functionality on my freebsd, but I only got a ton of problems :) In short, all I want is to have a usual english freebsd (with kde in english etc) but all 8-bit texts would be trated the same way they are treated on russian freebsd. It's easy to get the second thing - set lang=ru in ~/.login_conf or some other way to set env["LANG"], but it makes everything f**ked up - all kde and other apps become in russian, which I don't need! It seemed like setting default charset would solve the problem, but setting charset=CP1251 in ~/.login_conf doesn't solve this problems - it doesn't have any effect. Is there any way I can do what I want? I tried to hack default locale files in en_US.ISO8859-1 long time ago and I think I made something bad. Is there a way to remove entire directory /usr/share/locale and then reinstal it? Thank you
