Locale settings issue

G'Day folks,

I have an issue which I think relates to the locale settings.  On my home laptop running an up to date Arch I notice that directories/files that contain non-ASCII (international?) characters like é,â do not show up properly in Thunar.  Then I noticed that these directories do not show up at all in Qt apps when using a fileOpenDialog for example.

The strange thing is I have an identical Arch setup running in a vm on my work laptop, and I noticed that the same directories with international characters work fine, both Thunar and Qt apps show up normally.  So I start checking my locale settings on both systems but I cannot find any difference, they are both the same.

Places I looked so far:

-> /etc/locale.gen are same for both, using en_US.UTF-8
-> /etc/rc.conf is indentical for both systems
-> output of 'locale -a' is same for both
-> re-ran 'locale-gen' on both to make sure
-> /etc/profile and /etc/profile.d/locale.sh are the same
-> output of ENV is same LANG=en_US.utf8

There must be some difference somewhere, because one system works but I don't know where else to look.  Anyone know what else it could be?

Cheers,
Wittfella

Re: Locale settings issue

How bout the fonts, same ones?

Also maybe if you uncomment more locales in locale.gen, such French and Spanish, or just one of those for accented characters.
