Well, ok, then explain please to a non-ukrainian, non-cyrillic user how
to use different fonts...
I personally use uk_UA.UTF-8 and run some programs in KOI8-U xterm:
/bin/sh -c 'export LANG=uk_UA.KOI8-U; export LC_ALL=uk_UA.KOI8-U; xterm
-fn -*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-koi8-u -fg white -bg black
-cr green -geometry 96x30'
And beware that some GUI programs still have problems running in UTF-8
locale... So I think if someone plan to use his server as a shell-server
it's preffered to use well-known uk_UA.KOI8-U locale and don't
concentrate on our tips and tricks.
