I switched the LANG to el_GR.UTF-8 (instead of C) on a Ubuntu system with 10.04LTS recompiled motif and cdesktopenv (latest released source) and I got the following desktop:
http://myria.math.aegean.gr/~atsol/tmp/CDE-greek.jpg <http://myria.math.aegean.gr/%7Eatsol/tmp/CDE-greek.jpg> Correct Greek appears in: 1. Panels' calendar 2. wm window decorations (firefox, gimp, dtfile) 3. inside dtterm (eg after ls) 4. inside dtfile (file names in Greek) 5. on minimized application icons practically anywhere on the desktop! So if this can be reproduced and controlled, CDE can be considered very usable in non-latin alphabets (although the wm freezes when you switch keyboard until you return back to English). But how do you control this? For example, if I change the font size (it is now at size 4) the desktop does not load. It seems that on this system there is a fallback font that does the job. Moreover the same steps do not work on CentOs 6.5 or on Ubuntu 12.04LTS. On these systems the font is a lucida type font without Greek characters. Let us say that one has a type1, ttf or otf font. Is there a way to map these to the fonts that CDE asks so that everything will work as in the above (lucky) example?
