Update:
I found that under my recent install, Unicode pages
that did not specify
<html lang="ja">
do no render kanji when printing -- only boxes
instead.
However, pages that specified <html lang="ja"> did
render correctly, as did pages in EUC-JP encoding even
when the lang="jp" tag was not specified.This made me
think printing was broken because I was testing using
google.co.jp, which does not specify lang="ja" in
their header.So in fact I had some Japanese printing
functionality all along during my latest install.
On the other hand, I had google.co.jp printing kanji
OK on my previous install so I figured it had
something to do with the locale settings. After some
experimenting I came up with the following:
LC_LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8
LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8
This gives me menus in English, Japanese web pages
that don't specify <html lang="jp"> render/print in
Japanese, and also maintains UIM/SCIM functionality,
which in my case is everything I had hoped for.
BTW the above locale settings were set in YAST
System /etc/sysconfig Editor
system/environment/language section and entered by
hand.
My version of firefox doesn't have font enabling
enabled and changing the font.FreeType2.printing
parameter in about:config doesn't seem to produce an
embedded ps file. So I guess I'll just fix up GS to
use fonts I like. But for me, this is but a bit
frosting on an already very tasty cake.
