Hi,
I'm using CentOS 5.0 with GNOME on almost all my desktops. My system is in french, so the default charset ($LANG) is fr_FR.UTF-8.
I'm in charge of our public library database server, running Debian Sarge. It's mainly running a LAMP server with a few extra PHP modules, and it's hosting our library management software. Since the app refuses to work correctly with UTF-8, I set the general system locale on the server to fr_FR@euro (ISO-8859-1).
When I administrate that server remotely from, say, a desktop running Slackware (which defaults to ISO, not Unicode), characters in the console get displayed correctly. For example, 'less /root/ChangeLog.txt' will display my ChangeLog file (with french special characters) correctly. But when I open an SSH session on my CentOS machine in a GNOME Terminal, the french special characters are all replaced by inverted question marks. And the same goes for the MySQL monitor: all the french characters in the entries (é, à, ç, ù, ...) are incorrectly displayed.
Q: how can I display all that correctly from within my Gnome Terminal?
's OK, I just found out. I blanked out the menu, and the right-click menu leaves some items out.
cheers,
Niki
