After advice from Piet Plomp, I adjusted some locales-related settings on our PCs.
In /etc/papersize
I set the system wide default paper size:
a4
And in /etc/default/locale
I set the Locale defaults:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=C LC_CTYPE=nl_NL.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=nl_NL.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=nl_NL.UTF-8 LC_TIME=nl_NL.UTF-8
The default language is set in /etc/environment
:
<snip> LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
.
OpenOffice needs extra nudging in /etc/openoffice/psprint.conf
:
sed -i '/;\ *PPD_PageSize=A4/ s%^;\ *%%g' /etc/openoffice/psprint.conf
As a result of this, when installing perl
packages, the system starts complaining about the Locales settings not being supported.
This can be repaired by installing the appropriate language packs.
