Hi I'm trying to use the culmus fonts with RH7.3
(The culmus fonts have only iso8859-8 and not iso10646-1, like a certain set of fonts I wish to avoid ATM). So far I managed to use them with a number of programs, but failed to use them with both AbiWord and OpenOffice . I suspect that the reason is the same: $ LC_CTYPE=he_IL.ISO-8859-8 AbiWord Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C With OpenOffice I have the fonts displayed in the fonts list (after I installed them with spaadmin) but the font name is not rendered in its own font. I get '!2CTev' instead. And the fonts don't display anything. I tried to add the locale he_IL.ISO-8859-8 using either (as root): localedef -f ISO-8859-8 -i en_US he_IL.ISO-8859-8 or: localedef -f ISO-8859-8 -i he_IL he_IL.ISO-8859-8 both finished successfully. I had no problems showing a 'date' of he created locale (it showed an English date in the first case, and a Hebrew-ISO-8859-8 date in the second case) Still, I get the warning. I looked at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.dir : iso8859-8/XLC_LOCALE he_IL.ISO8859-8 (the file exists) and locale.alias of the same dir maps several locales to he_IL.ISO8859-8 but nothing more. glibc-2.2.5-39 XFree86-4.2.0-8 What's next? -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
