The localized strings can't be displayed using the Core X window system fonts on UTF-8 locale so that we don't have the complete ISO10646 fonts. the fontset order which is written in XLC_LOCALE is basically prior ISO8859-1 rather than ISO10646. but another legacy charsets are low priority. So the ISO1646 must be the lowest priority than other legacy charsets until we will get the full supported ISO10646 font at least. ------ I copied the above from http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101377 . As I know, Fedora has adopted this patch already, and XFree 4.4.0 too. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

Created attachment 28469 [details, diff] XFree86-4.3.0-nls-cjk-utf8 I've edited the original patch file to fit on xfree-4.3.0-r5. But it seems more edit is needed on XFree86-locale.alias.bz2 and XFree86-locale.dir.bz2.
I'll add a complete fix if you've got one -- we're just about to remove 4.3.0-r6 from hard mask. Can you get the other issues you mentioned fixed by the end of the weekend?
This patch file also patches the "compose.dir, locale.dir, and locale.alias" files in the "xc/nls" directory. But during emerging the xfree package, XFree86-compose.dir-0.1.bz2 replaces the compose.dir" and XFree86-locale.alias.bz2 replaces "locale.alias". XFree86-locale.dir.bz2 replaces "local.dir" too. Well, I'm not so sure that it's ok whether those files(compose.dir, locale.dir, locale.alias) could not be patched or those 3 files could not be replaced. So I have tried xfree in both ways today. I replaced those 3 files with *.bz2 files, and I ran xfree. There was no problem. And I did not replace those 3 files. There was no problme too. Which do you think is better?
The easy fix for that is unpacking the three files before the epatch line. I'll take a look at it soon.
I've moved the unpacking earlier in the ebuild so patches will apply properly to those files. Could you please supply a patch that applies cleanly?
Created attachment 29125 [details, diff] the patch file for CJK locale The patch file has been changed a little as compared with the before thing. I'm not so confident it's perfect. There is big difference between the source files and the 3 *.bz2 files. But I think it will work well.
This is in patchset 2.1.26.16. As of that patchset, to check your version run xdpyinfo | grep vendor. donnie@supernova xfree $ xdpyinfo | grep vendor vendor string: Gentoo Linux (The X.Org Foundation 6.7.0, revision r0-0.5) The last string (0.5) is patchset. Please confirm it's working.
Sorry for my late feedback. My linux box has low performance, so it took so long to emerge new xfree. I've emerged the xfree-4.3.0-r6 package in the portage. Well, though it had some problems, as for the fontset order, it works like a charm. I've tried the new xfree under both ko_KR.UTF-8 and ja_JP.UTF8 locale. $ xdpyinfo |grep vendor vendor string: Gentoo Linux (The XFree86 Project, Inc 4.3.0, revision r6-2.1.26.16) vendor release number: 40300001
Could you please file bugs for the other problems? Thanks for helping out with this.
