Hey, Mike. Yes, you are correct. However, when I
change LC_MESSAGES to en_US.UTF-8, Mozilla/Firefox
does not generate a PS page that ghostscript is able
to manage. Indeed what you said is correct in that
changing the LC_MESSAGES to en_US.UTF-8 will not
change the way GS renders any PS file. So certainly it
has to do with Firefox and not GS. Sorry about that.

So with LC_MESSAGES set to an English locale, Firefox
doesn't seem to generate correct Japanese PS, at least
for Unicode coded pages. LC_MESSAGES set to a Japanese
locale allows FF to generate rerenderable Japanese PS
but with the obvious consequence of Japanese messages
being displayed here and there.

I did attempt to simply leave LC_MESSAGES blank. And
with LC_ALL blank as well, it seemingly manages to
*break* FF! I have to reinstall FF evevery time do
that, even if I change the LC_MESSAGES back to a legal
local.

Anyway, I guess it's another problem with Mozilla.

BTW, what about the LANGUAGE environment variable. I
notice that it is not listed under the YAST
environment/language section. Is it redundant somehow?

Mike
