And it is the same on 10.3-pre. You can check this using msgunfmt -o - /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/a2ps.mo | msgconv the msg* tools are part of the gettext-devel package. Werner, can you help with this issue? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

IMHO the error is caused during transformation from latin1 (aka es_ES.ISO-8859-1) to UTF-8 (aka aka es_ES.UTF-8). Or the reporter uses UTF-8 character code on an latin1 terminal. @Chema: What does the command line msgunfmt -o - /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/a2ps.mo | msgconv | \ iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 show on your terminal? If you see the out from your report you're are using an terminal for latin1 (8bit characters only) with UTF-8 multibyte output. This can not work. Please choose a correct locale for such terminals, e.g. es_ES@euro or es_ES.ISO-8859-15 or es_ES.ISO-8859-1). On the other hand you may want to use a real UTF-8 terminal which would be able not only to show spanish but e.g. also russian and chineese letters due multibyte encoding. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

You get the output you reported if you run a2ps in en_ES.UTF-8 locale in a terminal which is running in es_ES locale: mfabian@magellan:~$ LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 a2ps -P display /tmp/ttt [/tmp/ttt (estándar): 16 páginas en 8 hojas] [Total: 16 páginas en 8 hojas] enviado a la impresora 'display' [14 lines wrapped] mfabian@magellan:~$ If you run a2ps in es_ES locale instead in the same terminal, it works: mfabian@magellan:~$ LANG=es_ES a2ps -P display /tmp/ttt [/tmp/ttt (estándar): 17 páginas en 9 hojas] [Total: 17 páginas en 9 hojas] enviado a la impresora 'display' [17 lines wrapped] mfabian@magellan:~$ Of course running a2ps in es_ES.UTF-8 locale works as well *if* your terminal is correctly setup for UTF-8. The locale a2ps is running in has to match the locale the terminal is running in. I.e. you have somehow messed up your setup. → INVALID. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=244681 ------- Comment #7 from mfabian@novell.com 2007-02-13 15:45 MST ------- First step: msgunfmt -o - /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/a2ps.mo | msgconv | \ iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 -> I send with attachment p.log After the "msgconv", the result is already in UTF-8 because you are apparently running in es_ES.UTF-8 locale. "msgconv" converts into the encoding of the current locale. Then you pipe it into iconv and convert it *again* from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8. The result is the doubly converted broken file which you have attached.

Second: echo $LANG -> es_ES.UTF-8
I.e. your terminal is running in es_ES.UTF-8.
LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 a2ps -P display vlc.help [vlc.help (estándar): 28 páginas en 14 hojas] sh: gv: command not found [Total: 28 páginas en 14 hojas] enviado a la impresora 'display' [159 lines wrapped]
Now the locale of the a2ps command matches the locale of the terminal and the shell, therefore it works.
LANG=es_ES a2ps -P display vlc.help [vlc.help (est�dar): 28 p�inas en 14 hojas] sh: gv: command not found [Total: 28 p�inas en 14 hojas] enviado a la impresora 'display' [159 lines wrapped]
Now the locale of the a2ps command does *not* match the locale of the terminal and the shell, therefore it does not work.
I write this on konsole and I see is completely on the contrary that Mr.Fabian found
Yes, because you started your terminal in es_ES.UTF-8 locale and I started it in es_ES locale. I only started it in es_ES locale to demonstrate what happens. I do *not* recommend to prefer es_ES over es_ES.UTF-8. To the contrary, I recommend that you always use es_ES.UTF-8 everywhere. Then you will not have such problems. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
