deja-vu fonts are installed. If i set setenv LC_ALL de_CH.ISO8859-15 in
the console then it works form the shell.

My gnome environment should be set to english (US) keyboard and Swiss
German language. I can set this in gdm. I don't know how i can check
this settings after gnome is booted.

env doens't show me any LANG Variables.
