These are from 42.3 installations. On both, /etc/sysconfig/language is identical, and 'DroidSansMono.ttf: "Droid Sans Mono" "Regular"' results from 'fc-match monospace'. These show good vs. bad box drawing characters in Konsole3: Good: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Suse/lc423goodP5BSE.jpg Bad http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Suse/lc423bad00srv.jpg
Konsole treats program output as non-UTF-8
Locale on the good host, all POSIX except CTYPE and ALL, same in Konsole3 as in XTerm: # locale LANG=POSIX LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" LC_MONETARY="POSIX" LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" LC_PAPER="POSIX" LC_NAME="POSIX" LC_ADDRESS="POSIX" LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX" LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" LC_ALL=
On the bad host, all en_US.UTF-8 except LANG, and XTerm is OK, but Konsole is not: (# locale) LANG=POSIX LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
Locale in shell session is irrelevant. What is relevant, is locale in which konsole was started and which determines how input is interpreted. Unforutnately I do not know any good way to find it out. You may try something like
tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/${PID_OF_KONSOLE}/environ
# ps -A | grep -i sole 1737 ? 00:00:55 konsole 1740 ? 00:00:20 konsole # tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/${PID_OF_KONSOLE}/environ -bash: /proc//environ: No such file or directory # tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/${1740}/environ -bash: /proc//environ: No such file or directory # tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/1740/environ | wc -l 82 # tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/1740/environ | egrep 'LC_|LOCALE|LANG|locale' LANG=en_US G_FILENAME_ENCODING=@locale,UTF-8,ISO-8859-15,CP1252 LC_TIME=en_DK
but I won't be surprised if KDE takes this information from somewhere else. When I was using KDE I could not find any way to launch specific KDE application in specific locale without changing global use settings.
The difference between good and bad has root in .bashrc:
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
The question is, why does Xterm get box characters right, but Konsole not. Bug? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.
