Ubuntu encodings

[Norton Roman]

allright guys... nice discussion, but does anyone know how to have ubuntu
use latin encoding? I already tried dpkg-reconfigure (which was ok with 5.06),
but it simply did not work with 6.01.

I understand both sides in this argument, however, I don't care... my old
stuff is in latin-1 and gnome seems to refuse opening those files... I had
to open the text editor and then open the files... forget about double
clicking at the file browser...
