Unfortunately "locale" combines a number of partly orthogonal concepts -- some of which may even be user or application specific and need to be overridden. An example of the latter was a previous employer of mine which had to distribute an "en_US@Transmeta" locale to all systems to support a single application, so that %' could be used to print numbers with underscore thousands separators. -- Configure bugmail: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
