Jungshik, After struggling for a while in 7.3, I installed 8.0 and followed your fixes in bug #75829 to get UTF-8 to work for Japanese and Korean. I put your customized XLC_LOCALEs into a newly created dirs called ja_JP.UTF-8 and ko_KR.UTF-8 under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale. I couldn't make it work in 7.3 and I don't know why yet.
However, there are issues. After those changes when I logged into Japanese EUC locale, everything is displayed in English. :( So was for Japanese UTF-8 locale. Is that because the system couldn't find the resources? I didn't check and made sure that the locale.dir was modified (I'll check again). Also, in UTF-8 for Japanese mode, there is no Japanese input (Shift-space bar). None of the problems showed up for Korean environments (EUC and UTF-8). Maybe there are some glitches somewhere. In general, looks like UTF-8 works on Lunix for CJK; however, there is no way for general users to do what they intent to do. Your help is appreciated and I would like to see your fixes get into near future builds so all can benefit. Thanks for your help. Jim

NFS should be encoding-neutral just like the rest of Unix FS
is. (except for cases like exporting to and from non-Unix systems where
different file systems are used.). Why don't you begin with a simpler
case? Before using UTF-8 for directory names to export via NFS, you can
begin with making sure UTF-8 filenames under a NFS-exported directory
come out all right on the client side. BTW, I've just experimented
with UTF-8 directory names in export list(/etc/exports), it worked fine
between Mandrake 9.0(server) and RedHat 8.0(client). Judging from this
and the fact that Solaris and NetBSD worked fine, it should also work
between NetBSD and RH 7.3

You have to do the same for xterm as you do for
dtterm. 'LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 xterm'. '-u8' option is not necessary for recent
xterm. Or, you can do in the opposite order. That is, run 'xterm -u8'
and then set LANG to ja_JP.UTF-8 in xterm (UTF-8). Actually, you have to
do the latter way if your /etc/sysconfig/i18n or ~/.i18n sets $LANG to
a value other than ja_JP.UTF-8 because the shell initialization script in
RedHat *overrides* the value set before the shell invocation with the value
in /etc/sysconfig/i18n or ~/.i18n.(see /etc/profile.d/lang.(sh|csh)).

I'm not sure if it's in RH 7.3. You can get it at
http://mlterm.sourceforge.net
