Linux console's Unicode support is very poor. It can handle only a few hundreds of characters, and cannot handle combining nor doublewidth characters. It doesn't have API for CJK input methods. Another one is Tcl/Tk. I cannot input Japanese in entry and text widgets by using XIM. Something should be wrong even now, though it may be specific problem for Debian package.... Extended input method is also needed. For example, I cannot input both of Japanese and Korean in one xterm session, because there are no XIM servers which support both of Japanese and Korean while xterm cannot switch XIM connection. (mlterm can do this, but I think all softwares should be able to do this.) Many softwares should be rewrote using internationalized widget libraries such as Pango to support complex languages. --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/ "Introduction to I18N" http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/intro-i18n/ -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
