reassign 341808 xlibs-data thanks On Sat, Dec 03, 2005 at 02:01:15PM +0400, Stepan Golosunov wrote: > Package: xterm > Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 > Severity: normal > > When xterm is running in ru_RU locale (which uses ISO-8859-5), it shows > characters as if they were KOI8-R encoded, giving garbage:
This is because /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias contains ru_RU ru_RU.KOI8-R thus I reassign this bugreport to xlibs-data. [snip] > P.S. ISO-8859-5 ru_RU locale is not widely used, but > /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED contains "ru_RU ISO-8859-5" line Yes, and this won't change because glibc developers refuse to modify encodings. So I believe that locale.alias should be fixed to follow glibc. It has been modified in the past to be closely bound to glibc, eg. some locales like Esperanto have been discarded. IMO this is not a good solution, because users may have additional locales, like ru_RU.CP1251 in your case. Of course this annoys me because additional locales provided by belocs-locales-data are not available to X users. The best solution is to have the same encoding as in the locales/belocs-locales-data packages, when it is defined there, keep existing ones when they are defined in X and not glibc, and add new locales when requested by users.
