[cups.bugs] [MOD] STR #1194: CUPS uses LC_MESSAGES to determine the

[Mike FABIAN]

[STR New]

To show that CUPS behaves as stated in the summary of the bug,
I use the following locale setting for testing:

    mfabian at magellan:~/test-texts$ locale
    LANG=
    LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
    LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
    LC_TIME="POSIX"
    LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
    LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
    LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
    LC_PAPER="POSIX"
    LC_NAME="POSIX"
    LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
    LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
    LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
    LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
    LC_ALL=
    mfabian at magellan:~/test-texts$

Now, when setting LC_CTYPE to an UTF-8 locale and printing a UTF-8 encoded
test file:

    mfabian at magellan:~/test-texts$ LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 lp < german.utf-8 
    request id is test-110 (1 file(s))
    mfabian at magellan:~/test-texts$

it is not printed correctly.

But when LC_MESSAGES is set instead of LC_CTYPE:

    mfabian at magellan:~/test-texts$ LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.UTF-8 lp <
german.utf-8
    request id is test-111 (1 file(s))
    mfabian at magellan:~/test-texts$

the file is printed correctly.

The test file looks like this:

    mfabian at magellan:~/test-texts$ cat german.utf-8
    -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
    Grüß Gott! €
    mfabian at magellan:~/test-texts$

I'll attach it as well.
