Hi, Thank you for the response. The version of KDE that I have is 1.1.2 and I downloaded it from http://kde.tdyc.com I have the correct locale setting, but when I change the language setting to zh_TW.Big5, from the KDE control center, all the menus will display some strange characters that I can't read. I don't know if it has to do with missing fonts, or KDE is just having problem displaying multybyte, or maybe I need to do some other configuration.
