Judging from the answers I've got, other threads on this list, and what I've seen on the web, locale is a very badly understood topic that should be understood better. Therefor, I'm repeating these: > Questions > > (1) How is the locale set? It's easy to read it: just type "$ locale". > (2) How does the locale relate to the environment variables LC_*? > (3) How does the locale control the paper size? "$ locale" prints out a > value for LC_PAPER, but "man 7 locale" doesn't refer to it. > > BTW: I was advised to "$ echo letter > /etc/papersize", to get groff to > emit the right kind of output. It doesn't work. > > Also have been advised to edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n but it's not clear > just what to put into it.
