Umm, you do not have to. If you don't have access to the MandrakeSoft build
machines you can just send me the url and let me know where to find it, and
I can do it for you.
We currently got space concerns here since the 2.2 kernels (consider the
-secure, -smp, -fb, -linus ..) and XF3 and XF4 all in the Main distrib ..

Yeh. One of them is me. I was invited by Danny to join this list. :)

I would very much like to get any existing stuff from CLE, i18n-ing
a whole distribution is not an easy task ...
I guess everyone would probably want to know how the i18n stuff is going
on at MandrakeSoft. We have some stuff included from CLE, like taipeifonts,
xa+cv and xcin et al, but currently not everything is included AFAIK. Right now
I am working on printing in GNU/Linux. I have packaged a software called
ttfprint, it is *not* in cooker, nor is it available anywhere else but here:
ftp://devel.mandrakesoft.com/pub/people/snailtalk which if you don't khnow
already it is a txt -> Chinese-ps compliant converter. It currently only
works with traditional Big5, if you know how to get it working with both
Big5 and GB, let me know.
