I remember fighting with this kind of issue. let's see.... OK, I have this in my .bash_profile : # no default locale, this is BAD and breaks eg normal sort! #export LC_ALL=C # commented that to try to use UTF8 (be more modern), and it # broke printing with evince because the stupid program looks # at LC_PAPER for that (and prints in letter with the default # en_US.UTF-8 locale) # en_GB should print in A4 by default export LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF_8" HTH!
