TM->US: Please have a look, sounds like a font-problem to me. Thanks ! When starting the OOo it prints a meaningful warning message to std out: I18n: X Window System doesn't support locale "da_DK.utf8" That means that the locale isn't supported by X. Then OOo falls back to "C" what makes it impossible to enter any other characters than ASCII. Note: for instance gedit also throws a warning in this locale: "Gdk-WARNING **: can not set locale modifiers". Thus for me it looks like a bug in the RH provided X server. BTW: also reproducible with RH9. @submitter: as a workaround you can set "da_DK" in /etc/sysconfig/i18n and use startx from a console. Or configure your gdm or whatever display manager you are using to use an ISO locale instead of utf-8 (try editing /etc/X11/gdm/locale.alias) . Transferring to CP. US->CP: for me this looks like a variant of issue 16318 (?). Is it possible to find a smarter fallback than "C" if a locale isn't supported by X? yep, duplicate to i16318 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 16318 *** closed duplicate |
