- If I18N support does not work for you, check these:
-
- - the LANG environment variable is set to your locale, and
- the locale is supported by your OS's locale or X's locale
- emulation. you can display all supported locales by
- executing "locale -a" command if it available. and you
- can check if your locale is supported by X's locale emulation.
- See "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias"
-
- - Check if you're using appropriate fonts for the locale you
- chose. If you're using a font set that has a different
- encoding than the one used by Xlib or libc, bad things can
- happen. Try specifically putting the encoding in the LANG
- variable, like ru_RU.KOI8-R. Again, see
- "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias"
-
- - if your OS doesn't support any locale or if your OS doesn't
- support a locale for your language, you can use X Window System's
- locale emulation feature instead of OS's locale. To use this
- feature, add this option to the configure, "--with-x-locale".
- if your OS is commercial one, such as Solaris,IRIX,AIX,...,
- you perhaps don't have to use X's locale emulation.
- But if your OS is Linux or NetBSD or .. , it's possible
- your locale is not supported so far. then use "--with-x-locale".
-
- Note: to use X's locale emulation, your Xlib has to be
- compiled so that the locale emulation is enabled.
- Linux RedHat5.0's default Xlib is not compiled
- like that. (RH4.x are ok). Recompiled Xlib for
- RH5.0 where you can use locale emulation is available
- here:
- ftp://ftp.linux.or.jp/pub/RPM/glibc
-
- - if you'd like to display multibyte characters, set the
- MultiByteText option to YES in ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker
- and ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMGLOBAL
-
- - the fonts you're using support your locale. if your font
- setting on $HOME/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker is like..
-
- WindowTitleFont = "-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*";
- MenuTitleFont = "-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*";
- ......................................................
-
- then you can't display non iso8859-x charcters by helvetica.
- so quick way to display various languages' font is to change
- all the font settings into:
-
- "-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
-
- and also you need to change font settings in style files in
- the "$HOME/Library/WindowMaker/Style" directory.
-
- - the LC_CTYPE environment variable is unset or it has the correct
- value. If you don't know what is the correct value, unset it.
