No ;-) At least not real time.
Well, thanks to Mate Wierdl, I found out that I can post
the list again.
The encoding for XFree86/OS2 need not be the same as that for
PM/cmd.exe so this is not theoretically a problem.
The PM/cmd.exe setting must be specified in config.sys and
cannot be modified unless you reboot. IBM supplies codepage
support for
855 Cyrillic (?)
866 Russia (So this is for DOS & default for OS/2)
878 Russia - Internet (This one is koi8-r)
915 Cyrillic - ISO 8859-5
1025 Cyrillic - EBCDIC
1119 Lithusanian and Russian
1251 Cyrillic Windows
1283 Apple Cyrillic
While XFree86/OS2 setting can either be specified in config.sys,
startx.cmd or xinitrc.cmd If it is to be specified in config.sys
you can't change it without reboot, and you must avoid using the
environment variable LANG.
Now I realized that what I said before needs correcting:
-GNU gettext does not care locale.alias/locale.dir files X supplies,
-XDrawString() does not care locale.alias/locale.dir either,
-XmbDrawString()/XwcDrawString() are not used in LyX
So if your fonts are set up for koi-8.r then gettext just checks
what the environment variable LANG et al. says. Put the message
object files anywhere you like but use the same name as your LANG
(LC_CTYPE, ...).
Sorry for the confusion,
SMiyata
