Re: Cyrillic letters in X applications



Hi again.

Just realized there was no real explanation how to get russian in
apps.

So here are the steps you should follow:

1. Install cyrillic fonts
2. Modify XF86Config (see previous messages)
3. Modify (or even create) /etc/gtk/gtkrc.ru_RU.KOI8-R (attached) for
   GTK apps to know about Russian.
4. Start your apps with LC_CTYPE env. variable set to
   ru_RU.KOI8-R. Don't set LANG as it will cause all the applications
   to speak Russian (do it if you really want to learn the language :))

This is one possible way, and I think it's a bit too much for the
things you want (althoug it's the _right_ way).

Another thing you can try is xruskb program (available in
Debian). That way you only need to install fonts and install and
configure this program.

Peter.
