I believe that Mandrake uses an i18n file too. Mandrake sets every single "LC_" variable explicitely. I think it is better to only set the "LANG" variable, and then only set "LC_" variables that one wants to override the default for whatever locale "LANG" is set to. > Now, what about "input methods?" > Try SCIM (http://www.scim-im.org). The latest version of SCIM comes with a modern Vietnamese input method. Recall that modern Vietnamese basically uses the Latin alphabet with numerous diacritical marks on the letters. One could easily create a similar input method map for polytonic Greek, for example. -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
