Hi,
Living in South Africa, my default LANG seems to be en_ZA. However, this
seems to be missing from XFree86's locale.alias. This results in programs
complaining:
Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
and certain applications like OpenOffice.org not starting up. I patch my
locale file to avoid the problems. I picked the entries from en_GB, because
it should be similar.
I don't know the "official" way of doing this. I do this with various RedHat
and Debian Linux distributions, running XFree86 4.0.3 through 4.2.1+cvs,
after installing. The file is /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias. Is
this a good way of doing it, or are there better ways? Can this be fixed by
patching XFree86's main source, or should I look elsewhere?
The patch I apply is:
--- locale.alias.stock 2002-10-12 13:25:28.000000000 +0200
+++ locale.alias.za 2002-08-15 10:58:53.000000000 +0200
