owen can you take a look at this one?

Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2001-07-13 16:27:51 UTC

What font is your gnome-terminal configured to use? With:

 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Both Japanese input and display of Japanese files works 
perfectly for me. (This is using gnome-core-1.4.0.4-9, 
gnome-libs-1.2.13-3.

Comment 3 Glen Foster 2001-07-13 19:43:59 UTC

This defect considered MUST-FIX for Fairfax gold-release.

Comment 4 Nakai 2001-07-17 21:38:27 UTC

rm ~/.gnome/Terminal
and run gnome-terminal again.

It's a default font problem.

Beginers can never choose the appropriate Japanese font
from the font dialog. So we must set the corrent font from
first.

Comment 5 Owen Taylor 2001-07-17 22:12:24 UTC

What happened is that the .po file patch with the translation for 'fixed'
got lost. Its extremely hard to merge .po file patches from one
release of a package to another, and we didn't even try to do this.

If we expect this to ever work from release to release, the patch
absolutely must go upstream.
If somebody determines what the font should be, and makes a diff against
the .po file, we can rebuiild gnome-core easily enough.

Comment 6 Havoc Pennington 2001-07-17 22:32:34 UTC

Be careful, we are also going to dump in po files from the "gnome" module on
sources.redhat.com later on.
