problem to read and input chinese in Dillo-0.8.5-i18n-misc

[nyu]

I hope this is the right place to report bugs. Well, I am not quite
sure it is a bug or not. I am using 1.0.9 alpha release with locale set
to zh_TW.UTF-8. I can read and input Chinese in Firefox which mean that
the locale and input method were set correctly. But when I try the same
thing with Dillo, I can't read the menu nor to input Chinese. Can someone
please teach me how to fix this problem? Thanks a lot in advance.

please try this older one:

If it also does not work, it might be due to Gtk1.
Do other Gtk1 -applications like Rox display chinese characters?

Hi MU,

The older one didn't work either. The original Rox doesn't display
Chinese but after upgrading to 2.41 with Laguage pack, it can display
Chinese and I can input Chinese as well. There are other packges
don't work with Chinese, e.g. Gxin, ripperX, iCal, Gaby, etc. Are they
relate to Gtk1? I remember someone mentioned about Puppy with Gtk2.
Is this the only solution? Please let me know how to use these packages
under Chinese locale. Thanks,
nyu

yes, that is one of the limits of Gtk1.

There is no "real" solutions, just tricks.
Dillo is used as help-viewer.
But you also can use firefox.

Rename dillo to dillo-backup.
Then type "which firefox" to find the correct location of firefox.
This might show
/usr/local/bin/firefox

Now create a symbolic link, so that firefox is used instead of dillo:

ln -s /usr/local/bin/firefox /usr/local/bin/dillo

Thanks, Mark. I guess for the time been, I have
to follow your suggestion.

i don't know if this has anything to do with this problem, but when i compile Icewm, it displays this error message:

zh_TW.Big5.po: warning: Charset "BIG5" is not supported. msgfmt relies on iconv(),
and iconv() does not support "BIG5".
Installing GNU libiconv and then reinstalling GNU gettext
would fix this problem.
Continuing anyway.

there were error messages for zh and jp locales

I am using zh_TW.UTF-8 instead of Big5. I can
view web pages in Chinese but I can't input Chinese or view Dillo menus. And also the buttons
in web pages written in Chinese, if any, were scrambled
