Red Hat Linux contains GB18030.2000 support, which was written by Yu Shao <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and possibly others (I don't know the details). Anyone is free to use our patches under the XFree86 MIT style license if they wish. In case someone wonders why they are not submitted to XFree86.org for inclusion, I wont submit them to XFree86.org personally because I did not write them myself, and it is outside of the areas of XFree86 to which I am familiar with. Someone who is familiar with these areas, and with GB18030 might want to review them possibly however to determine if they are XFree86 CVS worthy or not. Hope this helps, TTYL -- Mike A.
