Problem with accents

Post by cmarin »

Hi,
¿Why my Windows application does not allow me to use accents with wine? I have read in some post that wine detects the locale automatically, ¿What can be the problem?

I use:

Ubuntu 8.04.1
Wine 1.0
LANG=es_ES.UTF-8

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm still trying to solve the problem, after browsing the forum I have tried this:

LC_ALL=es_ES.UTF.8 wine program.exe

Then, when I write a character with an accent, that I see is "´e" instead of "é" , that would be the correct thing.

The same behavior with the genuine notepad:

LC_ALL=es_ES.UTF.8 wine notepad.exe

Is strange for me to think that nobody has had this same problem before.

Any indication will be very well appreciated.

What you get is a single character or two characters? What happens if you disable any extra XIMs?
