I have the current version of slack and i am having trouble getting korean fonts to show in Konquere and gaim...so far i've done some search and all i could find was slack-hangul patch which i've tried but didn't work...
can anyone help me with this??

hello..
korean here too.. =)

gaim nightlies supports international languages.
u need gtk2/glib2 though

i can read korean web pages wo/ no problems out of box
8.1

i haven't dealt with other language issues.
if u want to type koreans u might wanna look at Ami

hope that helps

okay it seems i can view some sites...but could you try this site?
www.maxmp3.co.kr
that site doesn't work for me...as for gaim i am going to try compiling gaim nightlies and see what happens

yeah it didn't work..i just get square boxes with codes like c7 78....i don't think it has anything to do with gaim..i think the problem is with my slack....

Just for fun I tried that site : http://www.maxmp3.co.kr/ showed up fine. All korean caracters.
For your information my mandrake box is set up in english/us.

i can see the site fine..

i remember i could select language encodings(not sure what that was) or such when installing slack or when compiling kernel.

which may or may not be related to the problem u r having

by the way it's euc-kr that i use in galeon

awwww man, i might have to do this compiling the kernel thing....

am i prepared to take the next step......i just know this is going to mess me up...well time to do some more research then...

thanks

oh i just found out i don't have
kde-i18n-ko something something....

could this be a problem???

i have no idea..

on a different computer that can type/view korean
try google.co.kr with "juksune"(juk su ne) in korean

it's like linuxquestions.org for korean linuxer

gl

sweet thanks ..i am using 9.0 and i am looking through kdei packages for 9.0 and there is no

kde-i18n-ko-3.1-noarch-1.tgz (or something similar i am guessing) why is ko missing?? why did they leave out ko?? AHHHH

here's the link

weird nooo??

but slackware-8.1 has it.....so weird...

I was wondering if someone could tell me how to get korean fonts displayed generally (I mean, in all) X applications. My mozilla web browser doesn't seem to display korean fonts (all I can see are boxes), and this happens in Gaim too. I'm not using KDE, so I guess the kde-korean fontpack doesn't go for me. I think it's something about the font's X can use, but I'm a so I could be totally wrong. (I know of some distributions that have korean support, but I need korean fonts and input - I mean, I don't know the korean language, but I have korean friends that write some characters in korean- and I like Slackware, so no other distro ). I was trying to get korean support in the console, but it was WAY difficult for me (something called Unicon, and all of the help was in korean... that I can't understand -I wanted korean console support for this mp3s and musicvideos that my korean friends send me-). Another issue I have, is that I need multiple language support (I know I'm going to be flamed by this... but I need something like the win2k or winxp language support, what I mean by this is, it CAN display spanish -ñ,à,è...-, korean characters, and you can input in english, spanish or korean...). Could somebody give me some directions so I can read and try to solve this? I really want to be 100% linux .
Oh, I almost forgot, I have spanish support inside Mozilla, I can read spanish webpages, but if the title of the page has accents, Mozilla can't display that in the title bar, it just display an "?" (like... B?squeda en Google, when it should be something like Bùsqueda en Google).
Thanks in advance.

I've noticed that all the accents in my previous post were the wrong ones... hehe, it should have been á, é, í, ó, ú... replace as necesary

i still haven't been able to figure out how to display korean fonts yet..i tried reinstalling gtk (which i think is the source of the problem) but that didn't help..i am out of ideas on how to go about fixing this problem so for now i am just rebooting to xp if i want to chat in korean or some othe language...and i doubt u will get much help on this topic...no one really seems to know much about this....

..

have u tried gaim 0.60 ?
naitive international fonts support..

yeah i tried gaim 0.60, cvs and etc etc..i think essentially the problem is with gtk. In KDE, the WM is able to display korean font correctly which then means i have korean fonts and QT is correctly configured to display them. However, progs that use gtk doesn't seem to be able to display them.... oy... (i am guessing here btw....)
