Could this be a corrupted file? (Feasible, as we did have a power cut.) I tried reinstalling glibc, but that didn't help.

localectl set-locale LANG=en_GB.utf8
# sudo localectl set-locale LANG=en_GB.utf8 # echo $LANG en_US.UTF-8 # sudo localectl System Locale: LANG=en-GB.utf8 VC Keymap: dvorak X11 Layout: n/a
I tried a new login session too in a fresh VT, and the LANG environment variable is still en_US.UTF-8.

Maybe you have the lang set somewhere in your shell configfile. Have you tried with a new user?

You have to run
# locale-gen

Hmm; yeah, getting somewhere now. I haven't made any modifications to my shell config for a while, but I did find this (I use zprezto):
if [[ -z "LANG" ]]; then export LANG='en_US.UTF-8' fi
I've commented that out, and I get en_GB.UTF-8 now (which is odd in itself), but Tmux and Vim still render incorrectly: dividing lines are accented characters. The Linux built-in console renders some lines correctly, but some angled lines in Vim are rendered as blocks, so it doesn't seem to be a Konsole thing.
When I try to invoke "man", I get:
man: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct.
I don't have any LC_ variable set manually, but I didn't think I needed to...
Also:
# locale -a locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory C POSIX en_GB en_GB.iso88591 en_GB.utf8
I've done:
# pacman -Qqkk | grep GB
...but that returns nothing.
Any more ideas?
Paul

J?rgen, note my original post:
I've checked locale.gen and rerun locale-gen without any effect. I've also tried rerunning mkinitpio for good measure.

Oh BTW, I've also tried bypassing my ZSH config entirely, but no difference.

Well, I meant after running
sudo localectl set-locale LANG=en_GB.utf8
You didn't list that, so I thought you forgot it.

OK, I see. I can't see why that would be necessary, but in the interest of completeness I've re-run locale-gen, and I'm afraid there was no effect.

i think you may just have a typo. shouldn't it be "en_GB.UTF-8" instead of "en_GB.utf8"?
