Byrne from comment #18) > The L/O OO people have absolutely no intention of ever altering this. It is still a bad decision on their part. Having to exit LO, set the locale, and start the process again just to change the format is bad design. Alternatively they could provide an interface that let them change the locale for the running process (though it's MT-unsafe). The best we can do in glibc is make locale creation easier with some kind of CLI tool, and I'm happy to see patches for that. Firstly I'd like to see patches to the manual to describe how to get this to work using the existing tools though. I think that would be a worthwhile project for anyone interested in this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
