When you run a setenv query, what are the environment variables such as LANG that affect fonts?

Hello Klaatu.Berada,
Google is your friend.There is a lot about Linux on the Internet that you can find by searching for Linux and language, localization, fonts, etc. What I was asking for were your environmental settings (Linux and environment). If you type in setenv <RETURN>, then your Linux OS should return a list of environmental settings. One of these should be LANG=?????? which says which language is selected. This, together with your OS version, should let us find out which font is being used by default. I used to use UNIX a lot, but I am not up to speed on Linux, so I have to start out taking small steps. If I were a guru I would probably have already given you a complete answer to your problem.

Some GNU/Linux distros use the 'env' command instead of 'setenv' if you can't find 'setenv'.

Some GNU/Linux distros use the 'env' command instead of 'setenv' if you can't find 'setenv'. Thanks for the help. I am on SuSE 10.1 and 'env' worked where 'setenv' did not. The lang variable is: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 I think I tried to change that UTF-8 someplace, sometime, and things got weird. |
