Re: Unicode support on FreeBSD
CONSOLE As we know, the console drivers atkbd and sc do not support unicode (in contrast to linux console drivers, for example). So we have to use programs able to translate unicode to a single byte code table. I use my PC successfully in such a manner. X You should set LC_CTYPE to ru_RU.UTF-8 (for russian) before running X programs, and you should have correct unicode support. I have the next line in .xinitrc: env LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 twm And I have no problem with X programs for years.

Anyhow, X11 apps are working perfectly fine, but rendering Japanese text in xterm isn't working like it was under Gentoo. Time to install some fonts I suppose or look into adding Japanese support for xterm. uim/anthy isn't working 100% yet, but I'll force it to work sometime soon :). As for setting locales, you have to do it in whatever file you use to pull in for starting X11, ~/.xinitrc, ~/.Xsession, etc. My .xinitrc: export GTK_IM_MODULE=uim; export [EMAIL PROTECTED]; export UIM_CANDWIN_PROG=uim-candwin-gtk; xmodmap -e pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 imwheel -f -k -p -b 67 uim-toolbar-gtk-systray exec xfce4-session xscreensaver -no-splash - -Garrett -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFhZL0EnKyINQw/HARAoUdAJwN22ltxoHHK1aS96+tClnzlH09vQCglIW6 vZdo8c7M7GuqVNN7R/mTILQ= =QZBS -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Unicode support on FreeBSD
It's worth noting that while this solution may work, it's an add-on. The question of Unicode is complex; you should check for relevant threads in the questions@ and i18n@ archives. I am using FreeBSD 6.1. with locale set to ja_JP.UTF-8 for quite some time now, and it's working splendidly. Gnome/KDE work fine, fluxbox is a bit more difficult to set up correctly when it comes to Japanese / Unicode. The only problem I did come across is CD9660-Unicode support: whenever I try to use a CD created on Windows containing Japanese file names, I screws up completely (filenames become mojibake). Messing around with mount options does not help, but reverting to ja_JP.eucJP does. I think it's a bug, but I am not sure. I posted a message to questions@ concerning this problem, but didn't get one answer, so I don't know whether I should post a PR. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Unicode support on FreeBSD
hi, i just taste the flavor of unicode a while ago, my point is to read chinese/jap file name which file is downloaded over the internet. i installed rxvt-unicode, and set my env in .cshrc LC_CTYPE to zh_TW.UTF-8, and i think now i can read those file name with no problemo...

It appears as if Freebsd is definitely the best choice (over other non-Linux Unix Opensource OSes--including OpenBSD and Open Solaris) for a Unicode support. Just tired of what the Linux crowd has been doing with the I/O scheduler and schedulers in the kernel, and Reiserfs support has gotten worse as of late it appears (kernel version 2.6.18 with 'emission' kernel patches).
