Thanks for your answer.
Because RedHat XFree86 18030 patch's compound text encoding part was
based on James Su's patch which was derived from UTF-8' code, it doesn't
really need GB18030.2000-0.enc and GB18030.200-1.enc to be functioning.
GB18030.2000* aliases were added purely because we want Mozilla working
properly as well.
Aliasing gbk-0.enc to gb18030.2000-0.enc is fine except for 80 characters
with different assignments in two encodings. However,
gb18030.2000-1.enc in RH8 is different from Mozilla's GB18030Font1.
Mozilla's GB18030Font1 is based on gb18030.2000-1 used in Solaris 9
(which is the same as attachement 348 in XF86 bugzilla and what James
Su proposed adding in December 2002). So, the last
sentence in the above paragraph doesn't seem to make sense. On top of
that, RedHat 8/9 ships Xft-build of Mozilla by default so that
Mozilla's encoders for X11 core fonts shouldn't be your concern,
should they? Of course, when it's run with GDK_USE_XFT=0, it does matter.
About the identical mapping in RedHat's GB18030.2000-1, it is because
the inside compound encoding part is treating them as ISO10646 codes.
This is a bit confusing. How am I supposed to interpret this together
with the first sentennce in your reply? Do you need RH8's
version of gb18030.2000-1.enc or not?
I don't get you here, the first version of the patch was made for Red
Hat 7.3, at that time we have to use Mozilla with X core font. Since
then the patch has been there almost unchanged.
How would you propose the conflict between RH's gb18030.2000-1.enc and
Solaris/Mozilla/Java's gb18030.2000-1 be solved? Could you add your
comment to http://bugs.xfree86.org//cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=441 ?
What GB18030 compound encoding code has XFree86 decided to use? right
now, there is even no GB18030 X locale definition in CVS, there is no
conflict, just totally depends on how to approach the compound text
encoding part.
