I always had problems with simplified Chinese in SuSE, and this problem remains in SuSE 9.3, so I address it here. The difference between simplified and traditional Chinese is, that some characters have been simplified. This means, ~80% of the characters remain the same, but some characters are now simpler. Simplified Chinese is used in China mainland, where traditional Chinese is still used in Taiwan. In SuSE 9.3, when I select simplified Chinese as secondary language, everything works nearly fine, when I enter Ctrl-Space, I get a SCIM popup, where I can choose "Intelligent Pinyin" as input method. The problem now is, that only characters that are the same in simplified and traditional Chinese are shown in all programs (means in the SCIM, in KWrite, in konsole, etc.). All characters that are different in simplified Chinese are not shown at all (empty characters, like "space"). This means, I can only see the ~80% characters that are unchanged. Of course, it works, if I change the font either to a simplified Chinese font, or to GNU Unifont. It seems, as if the font substitution were not correctly configured for simplified Chinese. I have installed all available fonts. Of course, I don't want to define a substitute font for all of my fonts! But still, Chinese should work under all circumstances. I have newly installed SuSE 9.3 (not upgraded) and I have created a new user with SuSE default settings, so it is definitely not an upgrade problem. Some questions: - What is the simplest way for me to correct this? - Can I patch it in the global /etc (for all users)? - When and how will SuSE correct this? (Mike?) - Why aren't there more people from China complaining this? Have I some special configuration, which does not work (e.g. my main language is German, one of my secondary languages is simplified Chinese)? Thank you Regards Marc
