Though `dpkg-reconfigure locales' doesn't display ja_JP.sjis as an option by default, the character map of SHIFT_JIS is provided by the locales package. To use ja_JP.sjis, type the following before setting LC_CTYPE or so: # echo 'ja_JP.SJIS SHIFT_JIS' >>/etc/locale.gen # locale-gen -- Tatsuya Kinoshita -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
