Yes. Is that really all? What do you get in ko_KR.UTF-8? I don't really understand how fontconfig is "supposed" to handle languages yet, so the way that code is "designed" (ie, hardly at all :-( ), there's usually a pretty long list for me. Eg, as you can see above it's checking Japanese fonts for English support, it would typically check Korean too. Does Red Hat (or you) customize the system (resp your personal) fonts.conf, maybe? Jens> Basically any locale that uses "widechars" AFAICT. Eg, Jens> ja_JP.UTF-8, ko_KR.UTF-8, etc. Only UTF-8 locales? Have you tried "native" locales such as ja_JP.eucJP? How about 8-bit non-Latin locales (Russian, Hebrew, Arabic) with UTF-8? P.S. Don't kill yourself trying to answer my questions; I haven't had time to experiment yet, so I'm just asking for information that *might* be useful. If I really need it (ie, I can't find a way to reproduce the crash), I'll come back to it, trust me. :-) -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
