 |
|
Hi all
I can't export LANG=zh_CN.GB2312,which is my native language,in /etc/profile, If I did, programs such as xmms,gtk and gimp will not display any fonts,not even english fonts.
I already localised my gentoo to enable it to display my native language characters.
what makes that happen??? |

Does it do the right thing if you say
| Code: | | export LC_ALL=zh_CN |
instead? |

| only LC_ALL=zh. CN_GB18030 can work, but it will cause all programs crash under gnome. |

| Well I'm thinking maybe it's got something to do with your font setup, but I've no idea what, sorry. |

Have you got all of your fonts installed and configured correctly? fc-cache needs to be run after you install the correct fonts to let X (via xft) see where the fonts are. You also need your profile configured in .profile or .bashrc or somewhere similar.

I've just found a similar problem after I updated to XFree 4.3.0rc2 today. when starting any gtk+ 1.2 apps, I've got the follow error message:
Gdk-WARNING **: Error converting icon name to text property: -2
I can use these apps only when I set LC_ALL=en_US. But then no chinese charactors:(
Other programs works well, qt3, kde, gtk2 all have no problem, only gtk goes mad  |

For GTK1.2 you might need to alter your .gtkrc file and specify fonts in there...I have no idea what the settings would be for Chinese though.

After a recent update I get the same error when I set LANG=en_GB
Fonts in gimp, xsane etc only appear with LANG=C or POSIX or en_US
Has anyone solved this yet? |
