Description of problem: If the latest xemacs in fedora devel is run in ja_JP.UTF-8 the menubar is full of boxes and garbage. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xemacs-packages-extra-20070427-1.fc8 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 xemacs Actual results: Menubar is has many corrupted characters. Expected results: Menubar to disable normally (in English or Japanese) Additional info: In F7 the menu displays normally in English. With LANG set to ja_JP (or equivalently ja_JP.eucJP) the menubar displays correctly in Japanese (though it is not 100% translated), so it is probably a font/encoding problem. Maybe a Japanese unicode bitmap font is required to display it correctly in ja_JP.UTF-8? If it is hard to fix then I think just reverting to the English menu would be better.
Curiously, on F7 x86_64 with 21.5.28-2.fc7, the menu bar with LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 is garbage for me no matter if xemacs-packages-extra-20061221-1.fc7 or 20070427-1.fc8 from Rawhide is installed. Are you running 21.5.28 on both F-7 and Rawhide? See also bug 145931, perhaps related? But then again, we now do build with xfontset support, dunno if --without-xfs would make any difference.
No, I was still running xemacs-21.5.27-8.fc7.x86_64. You're quite right I see it also with xemacs-21.5.28-2.fc7.x86_64.
With xemacs the menubar is now in English which I think is fine for most users. xemacs-21.5.28-5.fc8
