Description Bill Huang 2001-04-13 06:37:26 UTC 
Since OUTPUT_CHARSET=EUC-JP is not set in env,
some Japanese help can't be displayed on console or gnome-terminal.
such as gpg --help.
Comment 1 Nakai 2001-04-13 06:56:55 UTC 
This problem should be fixed in Anaconda, shouldn't it?
Comment 2 Matt Wilson 2001-04-13 15:29:33 UTC 
Applications that output characters in a locale that isn't POSIX *must* call
setlocale()
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2001-04-13 16:13:59 UTC 
So, you're saying this is an app problem and not an initscripts problem?
Comment 4 Matt Wilson 2001-04-13 16:30:06 UTC 
absolutely.  If you set OUTPUT_CHARSET this will override the charset used in an
application that uses setlocale() properly.  This means that if you set
OUTPUT_CHARSET to EUC-JP and then run a properly written program using
LANG=de_DE it will not display properly.
Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2001-04-13 22:11:04 UTC 
OK, assigning to gpg.
Comment 6 Nakai 2004-05-06 07:11:18 UTC 
Obsoleted.
