Characters are showed wrong in some places (and correct in others...) in a pt_BR setup:

Anyone have seen
something like it?
I can
fix it? How?
It occurs in multiple installations of Linux Mint 9 LXDE - this problem is
specific of this
distro? Or affects all LXDE/PcManFM?

on Ubuntu Lucid (10.04) i386, Gnome default, adding the "lxde" package and selecting it on logon, the problem don't occurs (see the screenshot attached).
Why this happens in other version of the same distro? ... well, this is not PCManFM related, as I initially thought...

A follow up: the issue only occurs with the 0.9.5 version of PcManFM (bundled with Linux Mint LXDE 9 and Lubuntu 10.04) - with the 0.5.2 version of it (bundled with Ubuntu 10.04 "normal"/gnome), the issue do not occurs
(the way I've fixed it: only installing the
pcmanfm package, from Ubuntu repo - this will downgrade the PcManFM in MintLXDE/Lubuntu to 0.5.2)
I will mark this thread with "SOLVED"
edit: downgrade the software lead to othe issues in the Mint 9 LXDE ->

Your problem is that your pcmanfm version is old. It's on version 0.9.7 already and doesn't have this bug anymore.

Thanks for the info. I will try to request the update in
https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop/+archive/ppa (witch is the base for Lubuntu 10.05 and Linux Mint LXDE 9, and sticks with 0.9.5)

the issue here is gone (in my Lubuntu install) with:
Code: Select all
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:lxde/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
