It's not your fonts, it's your system locale. run locale to get your current locale configuration.

You can use something like LC_TIME=fr_FR ls -l to get France's format in date column as an example if it's available to use on your system.

You can also use locale -a to get a list of available locales. edit /etc/locale.gen file to enable your desired locales by removing # from any line you want, then run sudo locale-gen to generate them.

After all run:

sudo localectl set-locale LANG=en_US.utf8

to set English locale as your default or change en_US.utf8 with your desired locale.

  • It would be more interesting to list the current locale setting first and then change it....

  • Upvoted but I meant if you type locale all by itself it lists the current settings.
