Printing with gimp 2.0 German

Hi

The print output from gimp2.0pre4 "german" is also buggy like in the previous versions. If i like to print with gimp with LANG=en is all ok. If i use LANG=de_DE@euro it does not work. With the same printer preferences "Cups with turboprint"
printername - Stylus640,
printer - PostScript Level 2,
command - lp -s -dStylus670,
pppd-file - /usr/share/cups/model/turboprint/Epson_StylusColor670.ppd it works with english language.
But if i change to german i get no preview. The developers from turboprint mean its a bug in the "translation" of floatingpoint numbers if using german. It "translates" the decimal point to a decimal comma.
Knows anybody something about this?

Thanks Frank

The locale that fixes the decimal is LC_NUMERIC. The value for this for fr_FR ou de_DE is the comma. I suppose the bug is in Turboprint which is not aware of the locale. A call to setlocale() should be done in this program ...

A quick fix is to use LC_NUMERIC=C in your environement. Doing so you will get everywhere a dot instead of a comma as a decimal separator which is IMHO harmless.

Didn't you even report the following bug?

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135475

The answer to your question is right there at this page. Also, whoever built your version of GIMP must have ignored a big fat warning that asked him/her to update libgimpprint to version 4.2.6.
