[andyj]

Use rxvt instead of aterm.

Although it can't solve the fundamental problem, thank you for your recommendation.

flwm
windowmaker + windowmaker-locale

Code: [Select]

tce-load -wi windowmaker windowmaker-locale

My firefox actually displays Chinese all the time...
But aterm, flwm(window manager),... cannot.
Please look at the title of the window.

Rxvt supports true type fonts and unicode while aterm does not so it can display Chinese text in a terminal window, which was my point.

NOOB - there is nothing personal here.

You are an anonymous internet persona, who wanted to have a development discussion.

So far, it's just been a one-way street with you refusing to answer OUR questions.
That is no longer a discussion.  It's disingenuous, no matter who you claim to be.

The end result is that you are just tying up developers time better spent on improving the project itself since you are clearly not interested in discussion, but merely demanding that they meet your your needs only.

Since it is not a discussion, you are merely a time-waster, and sadly, from which nothing can be learned.

@PDF-8
I'm just a rookie who doesn't understand technology, culture or education. I feel that what you said may be right, but I don't understand anything. Well, could you give me some advice? You tell me what to do? Are you implying that I should leave here? Or are you implying that I shouldn't use TCL or Linux?

Don't try to convince anyone, to change anyone, because no one can do, you can do is to change yourself.

If you do irrelevant answer in the future, I will not reply to you.

@andyj
 Oh, I see.

[PDP-8]

I apologize to you and our community members.

I have never suggested you actually do anything, so that is up to you.

I won't pursue the subject any further and wish you success in your TCL endeavors.

@PDP-8
Thanks.you don't have to apologize to anyone.
as you say, so that is up to different people.

[TinyCoreLinux]

@xor
Ok, I'll try.

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~/locale$ localedef --list-archive
en_US.utf8
zh_CN.gbk
zh_CN.utf8


Code: [Select]

tc@box:~/locale$ tce-load -i getlocale
libzstd.tcz: OK
squashfs-tools.tcz: OK
dialog.tcz: OK
glibc_apps.tcz: OK
glibc_i18n_locale.tcz: OK
getlocale.tcz: OK


Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ sudo getlocale.sh
#Choose which locales to support: [zh_CN.UTF-8/UTF-8] [OK]
Press enter to start processing. [Enter]
Now processing... /
Locales installed. Creating extension... cp: can't stat '/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive': No such file or directory
-

Done. The extension is at /mnt/sda1/tce/optional/mylocale.tcz and in onboot.lst
mylocale.tcz is smaller than 10 kB (i.e., probably broken).
Reboot with lang=xyz (for example lang=) to start using this.


Press enter to quit.


finally, /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive was deleted.

Code: [Select]

tc@box:/$ localedef --list-archive #nothing
tc@box:/$ ls /usr/lib/locale #nothing

@Sashank999
Well.

[TinyCoreLinux]

The Q10 issue has been resolved.
mainly because aterm and flwm do not seem to support unicode encoding at all.
Changing to a different desktop environment such as GNOME should solve this problem.

[bug] getlocale.sh generates the mylocale.tcz file which is empty and does not contain any appropriate locale-archive file.
