Have you looked into the Glibc locale directory? Mandrake has a bunch of UTF-8 locales there, I believe. Glibc 2.2.x has been supporting ll_CC.UTF-8's for a while. If your system doesn't have it, you can just generate whatever ll_CC.UTF-8's you may need with localedef. As for XLC_LOCALE, you can always make one as I wrote in my message yesterday. RedHat and Mandrake Linux may not have XLC_LOCALES for locales other than en_US.UTF-8, but some other Linux distributions (e.g. TurboLinux) have zh_CN.UTF-8 and zh_TW.UTF-8. BTW, the first UTF-8 locale other than en_US.UTF-8 shipped with Solaris - Solaris 7? - (and AIX 4.x as well) was ko_KR.UTF-8, IIRC. <a bit off-topic> Now I'm almost done with switching to ko_KR.UTF-8 on my Linux box. It works more or less fine in that I can do *more than* what I could do under ko_KR.EUC-KR. Still missing is Middle Korean support, but it seems that xterm-16x can be used to *display* Middle Korean text encoded with a sequence of U+1100 Hangul Conjoining Jamos (<http://chem.skku.ac.kr/~wkpark/screenshot/2002_04_30_221718_shot.png>). Vim 6.1 already supports up to two combining characters and Middle Korean only need 'two combining characters' *most of time*. (even modern Korean needs more than two 'combining characters' in some cases,though. http://jshin.net/i18n/uyeo.html). Hopefully, with a little more tweaking in Vim 6.1 and some major enhancements in Korean XIM (e.g. Ami), I'll be able to typeset Middle Korean with LaTeX sooner or later. (LaTeX side is almost ready, too) </a bit off-topic> Jungshik Shin _______________________________________________ I18n mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/i18n
