Re: [9fans] Does plan 9 support Simplicified Chinese ?

2009-06-17 Thread Shaowei Wang (wsw)
What do you mean "support chinese" ? display chinese chars or input chinese
chars?

If you set the right font rio can display UTF-8 encoded chinese chars. And
i'm sure about that.

input chinese... hmm, may be not yet.
Is there a chinese input method in plan9 system? I don't think so.

I think in the open source community there is no official person but project
leader.

It's a good idea to ask questions on this list.
Guys reading this list may answer them or at least we can discuss them.

I know there is a CD image (4th Release) for i386 on the download page.

But the POINT is i want to build the release CD image from source tree by
myself.
So something like building script may great help.
