The changes introduced by 98eaef69 are still present. I.e. in multiple places the code calls setlocale(LC_all,""). This clobbers the current locale settings established by the callling program. I got here by debugging a problem reported against current gnuplot that so far as I can tell is directly caused by this change to libfontconfig. The program sets and relies on LC_NUMERIC == "C", but after calling into libfontconfig this may have been changed to something else. In particular if the default locale from the environment uses comma as a decimal point, bad things happen. I suggest that 98eaef69 be reverted. A library call should not change the caller's locale.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
