This is the problem of opensource work, it only get hobby level of priority. for most ppl, work,family and lastly hobby come last. I haven't really use S/OS's Chinese language features except seeing Chinese font display in FireFox on English version of S/OS. I have no bandwidth for TrupeType,bitmap of font technology terms for now. but if Firefly's chinese font is in src.rpm then it should be able to port to S/OS. tj This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
