Re: [gnome-speech] -- locale question

[Bill Haneman <Bill Haneman Sun COM>]

Aditya:

I looked further at your "different locale behavior" issue, regarding 
Sun JDS versus Fedora.  Note that you are almost certainly using 
different gnome-speech drivers on the two systems - on Fedora you're 
using festival, and on JDS you're using FreeTTS, I'd bet.

It turns out the the festival driver doesn't do the 'inexact locale 
matching' yet - most of the other gnome-speech drivers do (Theta, 
DECTalk, FreeTTS, etc.).

I'd be happy to review a patch to cut-and-paste the locale matching 
logic used in one of these other drivers (for instance, the Theta 
deiver) into the festival driver, if anyone feels like rolling up their 
sleeves and helping out.

thanks in advance,

Bill
