I've spent the last 24 hours (nonstop) playing with mandrake 
7.2--specifically attempting to get chinese to work...
Mandrake has been advertising their internationalization support for some 
time, and since chinese is critical to my productivity, I was excited to be 
able to work with it...
The install program in chiense was FLAWLESS...

HOWEVER...when KDE2 loads...all I see everywhere is question marks...except 
in the title bar of the menus and the stuff in english.
furthermore, XCIN does not load.... curious as to why, I poked into the 
config file and found it was trying to load some ming font..incorrectly 
named...
so I changed the /etc/chinese/xcinrc file to load the chinesefont "*big5-0" 
and sure enough, xcin appeared when I started kde2...
but still everything appears as questionmarks.... and the only program that 
appears to support chinese is netscape....
someone HELP :-)  if ANYONE has had success in chinese linux...please mail 
me (and the newsgroup)... I've even considered DOWNGRADING to the CLE 
version of Mandrake 7.1--but that would be just lame  as 7.2 has all these 
kewl features...
I notice also when gtop loads it complains about finding the font big5-0  
and perhaps it's looking for the same font that xcin was looking for by 
default........    maybe KDE and everythign is....

Thanks in advance :-)
