Thus, it had been an illegal usage to use ISO-8859-1 in C locale. (I wonder why many softwares were designed to enable such illegal usage.) When I internationalized softwares (i.e., locale- enabling), I got "bug" reports from such people like "i18n is only for asian people and please stop doing i18n in the upstream level" and I was forced to write a code to manage locale-ignorant people. --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/ "Introduction to I18N" http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/intro-i18n/ _______________________________________________ I18n mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/i18n
