Hmmm... Here are some things that have worked for me:
* I use gdm instead of kdm as a login manager --- it each user select there login locale individually. * I do my full installation in Japanese.... So necessary packages like "canna" and all of the japanese stuff get pre-selected (I think under System/Internationalization or something like that are the Chinese-Japanese-Korean (CJK) support stuff. Installing these separately might be just as good.

I don't really care what locale I'd use, and I'd prefer to stick with English. But I should at least be able to view a Japanese web page regardless of my locale! That's my main problem.
the web browser should show the correct letters regardless of the
locale - only if fonts exist. the input is affected by the locale,
though.
basically, the problem of personal edition is only the size of rpm
packages. the font packages are relatively large. and many people
don't like to have such ones in a limited CD-ROM space.
the discussion about this theme has usually no end, because which
package should be taken is a matter of taste. and the taste of the
current personal edition tends to the latin culture...
