hi rigel This is a very strange problem. The konqueror can display chinese-gb. And I can copy chinese-gb block from kongqueror to kedit, but Kedit cant open chinese file , cant input use XCIN. :( the other apps are same. My XFree86 is 3.3.6 libc6 2.1.95. saka -- | This message was re-posted from debian-chinese-gb@lists.debian.org | and converted from gb2312 to big5 by an automatic gateway.
