- I'm in the process of trying to set up X Windows in as Japanese-ified a
- fashion as possible (we have a new Japanese student in the lab).
- However, I'm a bit lost.
-
- First question: is the -DX_WCHAR/-DX_LOCALE extension in the X11R5
- build necessary if one wants to use internationalized versions of the
- software? If so, why does my build (on a Sparc IPC, SunOS 4.1.1) crash
- when (and only when) those are defined?
-
- Second question: what else should I (can I) do? The student is a
- biologist, so what we're looking for is the ability to read "fj"
- netnews, plus any other generic X/UNIX facilities that have been
- adapted for Japanese use. We are not going to be doing software
- development. This is strictly an end user issue.
-
- I gather that there may be versions of standard software (xterm, what
- else?) that have been reworked for Japanese use. Where can I find out
- what there is and where to snarf code?
-
- Thanks for any help or advice you can give me!
