On this new-fangled Fedora 6 system at work I'm getting what I assume are meant to be quotes displaying as a strange sequence, e.g.:-
âmainâ
Note that the above appears to me as:-
â\x80\x98mainâ\x80\x99
I think the above is meant to be `main', or something like that. It's only happening in some places, for example man pages and compiler error messages.
I suspect that the original Gnome incarnation was doing something 'clever' and now that I'm using plain X and fvwm2 I need to turn something off - but what?
