Description ezeaguerre 2008-07-03 02:34:35 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I'm running GNOME 2.22.2 on FreeBSD, my current locale is "es_ES.ISO8859-1", however this locale is not recognized by the weather monitor wich displays the "degree" symbol as a box with a cross. However the locale "es_ES.ISO-8859-1" is recognized by the application, but I'm afraid it's not recognized by FreeBSD libc.
I think GNOME or whatever is failing should recognize ISO8859-1 as a synonim for ISO-8859-1.

Steps to reproduce:
1. export LC_ALL="es_ES.ISO8859-1"
2. export LANG="es_ES.ISO8859-1"
3. startx


Actual results:
It doesn't display de degree symbol.

Expected results:
I would expect to see the degree symbol.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Same problem with the degree symbol. My locale is nl_BE@euro. This should be iso8859-15 as encoding. I can't say anything about the hyphen as I don't understand how this would be in my case. As a side note, the degree symbol in the weather functionality that has been added to the clock in 2.22 has the same problem too. For clarity, I would like the small circle back please.

this is fixed in 2.26; previously we were using the single-glyph "degrees C" symbol, now we've split it into separate symbols because many fonts don't have the combined glyph.
