Re: A problem with zh_CN.GB2312 locale

[Yu Di <ydi eecs uic edu>]

Hi, I upgraded gtk+ to 1.2.10, but it did not help. My
/usr/share/gtkrc.zh_CN file is included in the end of this mail (my .gtkrc
is empty).

I think in Gnome, the default English font is something like
-adobe-courier-*-iso8859-1, is this causing the problem? How can I change
that?

Thanks!
