2 If I18N support does not work for you, check these:
4 - the LANG environment variable is set to your locale, and
5 the locale is supported by your OS's locale or X's locale
6 emulation. you can display all supported locales by
7 executing "locale -a" command if it available. and you
8 can check if your locale is supported by X's locale emulation.
9 See "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias"
11 - if your OS doesn't support any locale or if your OS doesn't
12 support a locale for your language, you can use X Window System's
13 locale emulation feature instead of OS's locale. To use this
14 feature, add this option to the configure, "--with-x-locale".
15 if your OS is commercial one, such as Solaris,IRIX,AIX,...,
16 you perhaps don't have to use X's locale emulation.
17 But if your OS is Linux or NetBSD or .. , it's possible
18 your locale is not supported so far. then use "--with-x-locale".
20 Note: to use X's locale emulation, your Xlib has to be
21 compiled so that the locale emulation is enabled.
22 Linux RedHat5.0's default Xlib is not compiled
23 like that. (RH4.x are ok). Recompiled Xlib for
24 RH5.0 where you can use locale emulation is available
26 ftp://ftp.linux.or.jp/pub/RPM/glibc
28 - if you'd like to display multibyte characters, wmaker have to
29 be compiled with multibyte character support. Add this option
30 to the configure, "--enable-kanji".
32 - the fonts you're using support your locale. if your font
33 setting on $HOME/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker is like..
35 WindowTitleFont = "-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*";
36 MenuTitleFont = "-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*";
37 ......................................................
39 then you can't display non iso8859-x charcters by helvetica.
40 so quick way to display various languages' font is to change
41 all the font settings into:
43 "-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
45 and also you need to change font settings in style files in
46 the "$HOME/Library/WindowMaker/Style" directory.
48 - the LC_CTYPE environment variable is unset or it has the correct
49 value. If you don't know what is the correct value, unset it.
