(Cambridge-re1013.nightly) There was Japanese, French or other translated menu in xemacs on Red Hat Linux 9. This is anti-improvements for upper version and English is bug in Japan. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xemacs-21.4.14-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run XEmacs in LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 or ja_JP.eucJP environment. 2. See menu 3. English. Actual Results: English Expected Results: Japanese Additional info:
Yes, I'm afraid I don't know of an easy to fix this, since the toolkit used for the XEmacs menubar doesn't support utf-8 encoding afaik. So until xemacs moves to a modern toolkit I don't there is anyway to deal with this. (If one tries to start the xemacs in RHL 9 in ja_JP.UTF-8 locale, a spew of X warnings appear and the X window never materializes on the screen...)
I don't think so, because XEmacs menus doesn't recognize EUC-JP. It just depends on libc/X locale system. So, with an appropriate font specify and UTF-8 converted resources, it should works with ja_JP.UTF-8. I understand your priority for this issue is not so high for this product.
Ok, I guess you're right. However I'm not sure if we have a good unicode font to cover this?
I'm re-enabling menu translations for native CJK encodings in xemacs-sumo-20031003-2 and xemacs-21.4.14-2.
Fonts in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81717 will help you
I'm afraid I think it is a bit much to add fonts just to get the menubar to appear in ja, so I would like to close this for now. From upstream's point of view, core XEmacs doesn't even have utf-8 support, so a menubar for utf-8 is probably not a high priority either I'm afraid.
If we get a unicode font included in the distro, then it should be possible to fix this problem.
