Debian Sarge (GNU/Linux) on x86 (I know this doesn't entirely match your setup, but I don't know how much the OS should matter - after all, it is QT/KDE and X that does all the rendering) The trouble with Solaris is that you *need* to login with your locale at dtlogin (in my case, el_GR.UTF-8) in order to switch languages. You see, Xsun (Sun's X server that comes with Solaris; hence SRSS) does not allow you to use any other means of typing foreign characters, but only via its own language selector (a funny little window underneath every X window...). Therefore, KDE's and Gnome's language applets simply do not work with anything else than a *.UTF-8 locale. The JDS (Gnome-based) that comes with Solaris has no problem displaying Greek fonts with el_GR.UTF-8, but QT does not; dunno why. Unless you select an ISO-8859-* locale, QT does not display Greek/Danish/Whatever non en_US, but then, you cannot type in anything foreign! It's quite a shame... Not many people here like JDS; most prefer KDE. I guess this is a Trolltech "Feature"... I am pretty sure that Xorg would work fine on Solaris (it does on OpenSolaris), but then, is it supported by SRSS?? -- Antonis Valakas Systems Consultant Network Systems Marketing - Intracom SA email: avalak_at_intracom.gr phone: +30 210 667 9069 www.intracom.gr
