It's not $LANG which matters ($LANG concerns the message language), it's $LC_ALL generally (or maybe $LC_CTYPE specifically). Here on Solaris I've set the locale to en_US.UTF-8 and I can copy between emacs and other applications. Not quite well, though: when I copy Russian text from Emacs buffer it works up to the first whitespace (the first word is copied correctly, the rest is garbage). But there is no such a problem for the Latin alphabets, which seems to be your case. [...] -- Sergei
