------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-11-09 21:22 ------- Still slightly wrong. "The glibc-&glibc-version;/localedata/SUPPORTED lists the locales officially supported by the Glibc developers. Install that file...". We don't install that file, don't say that we do. Also the "official support" status means absulutely nothing, there's at least one non-working locale listed there (vi_VN.TCVN). Please revert the text before the command to its original state. The text after the command is good. "When trying such a fix, be sure to check that Glibc supports the newly chosen locale too, using the tests outlined earlier in this section." Basically you currently just say that with both old and new locale, the "locale charmap" command should give no errors. The actual requirement is more strict: it should print exactly the same. The idea is to choose a locale name that is known good for glibc and matches the user's expectations about character map and currency. Then, in the case Xlib fails to recognize this locale, find something that is treated 100% equivalently by glibc, but recognized by Xlib. Also please change: "using a real-world example that Xlib lacks support for" -> "using a real-world locale example that Xlib doesn't recognize" As for the modifiers, "locale -a" does show some examples that contain modifiers such as "@euro". So the task is to explain the fact that the "@" sign and everything after it form a modifier. "If you suffer any of the symptoms shown above" -> never happens due to glibc test if the reader follows the book. But let it stay as it is, because I can't find any better wording to introduce glibc error message. "Due to improper locale chioce, other packages may also fail to function correctly, with or without outputting any error messages" -> please put this to a separate paragraph at the bottom. Otherwise, there's no good place for me to add other failure modes in the UTF-8 book. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
