Re: Cyrillic letters in X applications
Hi,
I am recognizing some progress, but there is still trouble ...

1. Install cyrillic fonts
Done!
2. Modify XF86Config (see previous messages)
Done! (At least I hope so)
This is the important part of my XF86Config (I using 3.3.6)
----------------------------------
Section "Keyboard"
Protocol "Standard"
AutoRepeat 500 30
Xkbkeycodes "xfree86"
XkbTypes "default"
XkbCompat "default"
XkbRules "xfree86"
XkbModel "pc102"
XkbLayout "rums(basic)"
XkbOptions "grp:shift_toggle"
EndSection
----------------------------------
This resulted of course in an american keyboard layout and I do not know
how to switch. (grp:shift => Alt+Shift?) Alt+Shift does not work BTW.
But I proceded, hoping that I could figure this out later, but I would not.
3. Modify (or even create) /etc/gtk/gtkrc.ru_RU.KOI8-R (attached) for
GTK apps to know about Russian.
Done!
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 languag
Well, there is at least an error message. When I start gnumeric I get
the following output:

The error message is several times.
Does it tell you anything? I for my part am a bit helpless. And now it
is late and I will try again tomorrow.
