I think that the "dpkg-reconfigure locales" command modifies the /etc/locale.gen file. "dpkg-reconfigure locales" seems to work with most login methods, but not all. When I installed Login.app (it's a very simple GUI login screen), I noticed that my locales were not read. I fixed this by adding my locales to the beginning of my ~/.xsession file.
Note: you can easily check your current POSIX locale settings with the "locale" command.
I guess there's no harm in specifying locales in several resource files (as long as you don't set one locale in one file and a different locale in another file ). So, in principle, it would be possible to set locales in ~/.bash_profile (I think this is the standard place to set locales), ~/.bashrc, ~/.xinitrc, and in ~/.xsession. Try something like this in different resource files until you find the one that your login method reads:
dpkg-reconfigure locales
will allow you to generate these languages for your system.
however it won't fix your (harmless) "perl: warning" message (if it isn't fixed by now). you have to give LANGUAGE, LC_ALL,.. into your environment by using on of the earlier mentioned files.
have you solved anything about your font-size problem yet?
If you use ISO 8859-2, ISO 8859-3, ISO 8859-4, ISO 8859-5, ISO 8859-7, ISO 8859-8, ISO 8859-9, ISO 8859-10, ISO 8859-13, ISO 8859-14, ISO 8859-15, or KOI8-R encodings, you should make sure that you have installed "xfonts-base-transcoded", "xfonts-75dpi-transcoded", and "xfonts-100dpi-transcoded" font packages.
XF86Config -file something like this (order does matter):
Section "Files"
FontPath "tcp/192.168.1.30:7100" <-- for you rather localhost; or leave it out if no fontserver's active
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
EndSection
Section "Files"
FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server
# if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
what i change or modify for configure stay good?
tks guys
Honestly, I'm confused about your problem with small icons. This has never happened to me. I can only assume that it has something to do with the default font size. And yet you say that your icons became small when you re-configured your locales. I'm puzzled.
The only suggestion that comes to my mind at this point is that maybe you should install another window manager and see if your apps & their icons show differently in another WM. Here are some good window managers you could try: Blackbox, Openbox, IceWM, Window Maker, Afterstep.
