Hello,
In my "/home/andre" I have these 3 folders :
Téléchargements
Téléchargements
Vid©léos
Vidéos
ModÚles
Modèles
If I delete Téléchargements, Vid©léos and ModÚles,
at the next boot, they are automatically recreated.
How to avoid this recreation ?
localectl status
System Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
VC Keymap: (unset)
X11 Layout: fr
X11 Model: pc105
X11 Variant: latin9
In console mode the accented characters cannot be displayed,
as é, à, è, ù...
Thanks, Cheers,
André

I believe that your issue here is not "locales" but rather "paths"; if
it is
indeed locales, then you might want to get the package localepurge, where you
can tailor your available locales to suit your own needs.
But from what you write here, it looks like I had a similar problem awhile
back (and had long since forgot how to correct it). Somebody else here
(Michael?) reminded me that TDE has an easy gui way to do that.
Look in the Trinity Control Center: TCC > System Admininstration > Paths.

Not really, that could be just the start, because it may indicate we have a bug in the way
TDE creates those folders :-(
What strings did you enter into "paths" to get scrambled-eggs-strings
initially?

Hi,
Not sure if this helps, but I usually have really odd characters on the
command line show up as either empty boxes or boxes with an X in them. In
Konqueror those same chars all show up as empty boxes. They do copy/paste
and work for pathing and scripting.
Very (very) rarely I have seen characters turned into unicode (\u01C3) and hex
(%E8). That usually breaks using them for pathing and scripting.

Also no gender. That drives me nuts, trying to remember gender for words that
would not seem to it the natural world.
Glad to see this seemed to have fixed your immediate problem with
unwanted "hieroglyphs"; I don't quite follow why this might still be an
issue, but I am curious to hear what the developers have to say on this one.
I have a strange issue myself with Kmail's presentation of text, which just
developed spontaneously after upgrading to the latest packages. It seems like
it ought not to be related, but something about it smells funny.

Except that that leaves us without enough letters to write the language
phonetically. We should never have gotten rid of thorn and eth, either. ;)
More to the point, the corrupted directory names you originally posted
looked a *lot* like some of the spew I see sometimes when processing
French text through Perl on a system whose default codepage is different
from the original document's.
Could it be that somewhere along the way—either in the code creating
these directories, or in the setup for the filesystem itself, something is
expecting UTF-8 and getting ISO 8859-1, or vice-versa? (Since only
the accented characters are corrupted, both encodings must be
ASCII-compatible, or nearly so . . .)

This is what I suspect. Will need to be investigated further.
Thanks everyone for the valuable input.
