However, X has a stupid limitation of accepting only characters that are "legal" for the current locale. LC_CTYPE helps set this (although X does not use the LC_CTYPE data itself, IIRC. Only the locale name). Therefore when your locale is "hebrew" you simply cannot type russian characters. The news here is that QT3 now bypasses that spesific problematic part of the X interface and reimplements it itself. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
