Right (except stuff like "zh_CN.GB18030" which still should be preferred over the UTF-8 variant since the matching goverment requires it (and is very picky about it)) ... > we will gather more > information/feedback to see if we have future plans for legacy locales. Ok... my main concern is "interoperabilty", e.g. what happens if I am running something like the "ms_MY.UTF-8" or "vi_VN.UTF-8" locale and then do a slogin into a Linux machine ? > Regarding to the localization of CLI messages, yes, it would be changed > over time, hopefully by the opensolaris l10n communities. > > And for you last question, X11 terminal emulators, I believe the answer > is Yes, since they are all unicode characters, and we will ship the > proper fonts. Please check whether you have _fixed_width_ fonts with all matching point populated. Many fonts for these languages are either proportional or don't have all points populated. BTW: What about keyboard mappings and input methods (e.g. VIQR, VNI, TELEX etc, for Vienamese), e.g. how does an user type characters for these languages, either within Gnome or without having Gnome installed (e.g. there is stuff like http://xvnkb.sourceforge.net/ for plain X11 applications) ? ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL <currently fluctuating> (;O/ \/ \O;)
