Hi,

I have been attempting with poor success to get full utf-8 support in
xfce Terminal.

Locale is set to:

andrew@ilium~$ locale
LANG=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
LC_TIME="en_US"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="en_US"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
LC_PAPER="en_US"
LC_NAME="en_US"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US"
LC_ALL=

And when I saw the following message in /etc/profile.d/lang.sh I
decided to simply add the changes to ~/.bashrc:

# There is also support for UTF-8 locales, but be aware that
# some programs are not yet able to handle UTF-8 and will fail to
# run properly. In those cases, you can set LANG=C before
# starting them. Still, I'd avoid UTF unless you actually need it.
#export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

But adding this to ~./bashrc had little effect on Terminal and killed
vim fairly badly. Am I missing something obvious here?

Andrew
