And there are more than one way to change most of those settings, usually by a per-session or per-user setting overriding a sytem-wide default.
I could fix it if I were looking at it, but I couldn't begin to diagnose and back track it via email like this unfortunately. Hopefully among the hundred and fifty possibilities there is one that's common and someone can say "check this". Check your locale/language/keyboad settings in yast and in whatever desktop environment you use.

Hi listmates,
My applications show only the basic latin characterset. The characters
of other sets such as Latin-1 supplement don't show up.
so I get instead of "een" "één"
How and where can I correct this behaviour ?
thanks, Hans
Hi Hans
what kind of applications do you use and where is there output
displayed?
