Nope, don't see the warning. Restarted everything and I now get Chinese
in Gnome. I didn't know Big5 and big5 were different though - touchy.

For others also trying to get Chinese (or similar) working -- ie jlx.
Under Red Hat 7, there doesn't seem to be a easy (read
point-and-clickly) way to change the locale to "zh_TW.big5".
locale_config only supports "zh_TW.Big5".

I did it using two steps.
1) Add the lines to /etc/bashrc
export LANG=zh_TW.big5
export LC_ALL=zh_TW.big5

2) Add/Alter the line in /etc/sysconfig/i18n
LANG=zh_TW.big5

Also follow the steps Nakai has mentioned.

Yep. For others, do a ftpsearch for either taipeifonts or
taipeifonts-1.2-13.noarch.rpm if you use Red Hat.

Whoops, you're right.

I assume RHL7J stands for Red Hat Linux 7.0 Japanese version. My
non-RHL7J doesn't support CJK in gnome-terminal.

Thank you very much for your help Nakai. Everything seems to be working
fine. In fact, better than I expected.
