[Xastir] Hardy VMware Font problem

[Tony Hunt]

I fixed this problem.  Thanks Jason Lee and others for your ideas and clues 
it led me in the right direction. It took some finding but I got it. Most of 
the usual locale and conf files proved useless. As you say you could make a 
script to execute xastir and fix it but for the record here is the fix.

change the file /etc/default/locale so that it reads LANG=C instead of 
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
