A locale problem confused me.

[hantsy]

my /etc/sysconfig/i18n file content is.

LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"

But after I loggined as a normal user.
I type locale command in gnome terminal . It is displayed.

[hantsy@localhost ~]$ locale
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=

I do not know which application modify the "UTF8" to "utf8".
Some application run and cause problem due to the locale setting.

Anyone know the reason?

Thanks.

This has become, in my limited experience, less of a problem as UTF-8 matures.

You can always doing something like export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8, or adding LC_ALL=en_US.UTF_8 to your .bash_profile.

(If the latter, you probably have to log out and log back in.)

I'm not sure if that will solve it, but it might help. I usually just worry about LC_CTYPE, but my needs are fairly unsophisticated.

For example , I found RealPlayer had a problem when the locale set to "en_US.utf8".
Today I launched RealPlayer from menu, I found it was too slow to display the UI.
I think there maybe is a problem .
Then I type realplay in Gnome Terminal and get the following message.

** (process:4421): WARNING **: Unsupported locale en_US.utf8! Please use a locale with .UTF-8 suffix! For example: export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8

But before , the locale settings is correctly.
I do not know which application change the locale setting.
