> However, the Chinese > version of Solaris Express looks ugly. Some qualifications are necessary:
1. At least in Fedora and SuSE, the two Linux distros that I use the most, I have to do certain tweakings to get the Chinese display fonts I like. The default Chinese fonts in the Chinese locale of SX appear to be close to (or even better than) the ones I use. There is no question that the g11n team, or whoever responsible for the task, have done a very careful job. I apologize for failing to mention this. 2. The problem is that, for some reason and at least in Firefox and Thunderbird, the English (western) fonts (at least in the dialog window) are changed to monospace fonts when running in the Chinese locale (& I don't seem to be able to change that). For those of us who are so used to the eloquent look and feel of the English version of Solaris X, this was a shocking experience. During my recent trip to China and Taiwan, I sensed a definitive increase in willingness in governmental officials to move away from Windows. Most of them seem to have only Linux in mind, but the timing of the recent drive to make Solaris more Linux-like, & the opening of the China OpenSolairs Portal, couldn't have come at a better time. Fingers crossed. This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
