Eterm can't display some characters...

[oaul]

Hello - I am using Eterm on debian etch. On one of my laptops, Eterm can't display some characters, like forms of apostrophes and dashes. It replaces them with an a with a caret over it followed by two dotted boxes. Other terms like xterm or gnome-terminal dont have this issue.

For instance, in the firefox man page:

This is what i copy and paste from eterm:
Don’t use X shared memory extension

(But instead of that apostrophe i see the a+two boxes thing)

notice that there is a difference when i copy and paste the apostrophe and when i just hit the button on the keyboard:

’ vs. '

Whats weird is my other laptop that runs debian etch and the same version of Eterm displays these weird characaters just fine.

After some extensive googling, i found that you need to set the LANG variable to en_US. I use bash so i just added

export LANG=en_US

in ~/.bashrc

Issue fixed.
