If you start nedit like this: LANG=de_DE nedit I expect it will work.
Tim- Right. See my earlier report on this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=76248 "LANG=pt_BR nedit" work perfectly "LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8 nedit" cannot display accented characters. My question is this. What should we do!??? We (portuguese speaking users of RH) want to use nedit with our language, but unfortunately "pt_BR.UTF-8" is used by default on RH for us. Help! (Could neit have a wrapper script that strips off the damn ".UTF-8" part of the LANG env variable?!!)
Just to let you know. The UTF problem lies in Motif. If you link any against OpenMotif, it cannot handle UTF and crashes when you try to use the file open dialog. No problem is reported with LessTif (though LessTif has many other problems we don't want to go in here). For NEdit 5.4, we've changed start up to lop off UTF-8 if it's in locale at all. It is currently in beta, but you can download from our website (http://www.nedit.org). We encourage all system vendors that bundle NEdit to join our discussion group (develop) and participate in the beta. Many of our bug reports are reported against versions of NEdit that are built improperly (unstable versions of LessTif or Motif) by system vendors. We'd like to work with you to make sure future releases are stable.
This also happens in Fedora Core 1 (which ships nedit 5.3). I made a small patch to do what nedit 5.4 does (chop off the UTF-8 part).
Created attachment 96250 [details] chop off UTF-8 from locale if it exists
Added this ugly hack to CVS.
