Re: Japanese Display for gtk+-1.2.9

[Xyber Blue <xyberblue gmail com>]

By the way, the dillo successfully displayed japanese because we install fonts which is the

 usc-fonts.tar.gz 
 usc-fonts-asian.tar.gz

After following the steps for installation,  we successfully run
dillo with japanese. I thought gtk also affected by these installation
but currently it just displayed. Is there a specific japanese font for
EUC-JP encoding??? Because the ucs-fonts-asian only support UTF-8
encoding and also we found out that gtk-1.2 does not support UTF-8
encoding. EUC-JP is the supported one for gtk-1.2.

any hints on where I could find these fonts for EUC-JP???

I also noticed that file, when Im trying to renamed it, widgets display
gurbled instead of lines. Maybe I was thinking also of the possibility
that the fontset beeing defined by gtkrc.ja can't be found. But I don't
know what's this exact japanese font for EUC-JP.

Ouch. Your X environment is already moved to XFree86-4.x or
Xorg X11R6.7/later? Keith Packerd's tools like "fontconfig"
are really useless for gtk+-1.2.x world. I recommend you to
search .rpm (or .deb or anything else fitting your system)
including xlsfonts, xfontsel, xfd etc. They are useful to
check font setting for X core font API which gtk+- 1.2.x relies on.

jiskan16, jiskan24 are Japanese font (16x16 bitmap, 24x24 bitmap).
Possibly you can find some jisx0208 fonts by
        grep jisx0208 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.dir


In next, I want you to check whether X-server can provide jisx0208.
If X-server is configured well, fonts.dir reflects what fonts are
available via X core font API, but I cannot expect so.

If Japanese fonts are accessible via X core font API, the next problem
might be gtkrc is tuned to request unavailable Japanese fonts.
Please check if there's gtkrc.ja in some directory. In it, usually
default fontset for LANG=ja_JP environment is described.
