Hi I hope somebody of the OpenSuse developer is on the list. I use German with Chinese as the second language under OS10.1 There is still an anoying problem with the java font configuration. Everytime when I update my java version the font configuration files are set to a default value. I think It should be no big problem to set the values in /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_07/jre/lib/fontconfig.SuSE.properties so that they are working with the current language setting. I think this could be done by SuSEconfig. My problem is that after an update java programs are not displaying simplified chinese characters anymore. I change the following settings in fontconfig.SuSE.properties sequence.allfonts.UTF-8.zh=latin-1,chinese-iso10646,chinese-gb2312,chinese-big5,japanese-x0208,japanese-x0201 sequence.fallback=lucida,chinese-big5,chinese-gb2312,chinese-iso10646,japanese-x0208,japanese-x0201,korean Hopefully this could be fixed in one of the following versions. Or at least the changed files should not be overwritten by an update. Thanks Florian
