Description of problem: When starting xemacs in a Japanese or Korean utf-8 locale, xemacs hangs with lots of X Errors. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 21.4.12-7 and earlier How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. % LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 xemacs -q 2. % LANG=ko_KR.UTF-8 xemacs -q Actual results: Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion xemacs: X Error of failed request: BadFont (invalid Font parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 55 (X_CreateGC) Resource id in failed request: 0x2600028 Serial number of failed request: 273 Current serial number in output stream: 280 xemacs: X Error of failed request: BadFont (invalid Font parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 55 (X_CreateGC) Resource id in failed request: 0x2600029 Serial number of failed request: 274 Current serial number in output stream: 280 xemacs: X Error of failed request: BadFont (invalid Font parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 55 (X_CreateGC) Resource id in failed request: 0x260002a Serial number of failed request: 275 Current serial number in output stream: 280 : : Expected results: Should start up without problems Additional info: I think there is no support in the X Motif toolkit for UTF-8, so likely this can only be fixed by changing the CJK menubar to use a different toolkit.
Actually the menubar is using the Lucid toolkit not Motif, but it may not support utf-8 either. Disabling the ja and ko menubar translations in xemacs-21.4.12-8.
