zh_HK.Big5 locale
Hello everyone,
I have prepared a Hong Kong locale definition. It's available at:
http://spacehunt.e-fever.dhs.org/hklocale.tar.gz
It contains 3 files, zh_HK, BIG5_HKSCS, XLC_LOCALE. To use them:
- make the directory /usr/lib/X11/locale/zh_HK.Big5, copy XLC_LOCALE into
that directory, and edit /usr/lib/X11/locale/locale.dir accordingly.
- make sure you have i18ndata installed
- compile the locale using localdef:
localedef -f BIG5_HKSCS -i zh_HK -u mnemonic.ds zh_HK.Big5
- try it by export LANG=zh_HK.Big5 / setenv LANG zh_HK.Big5 etc.
The main difference of this from zh_TW.Big5 (apart from NT$ -> HK$ :p),
is that the Big5 code range has been extened from 0xA040-0xF9FE to
0x8140-0xFEFE, which includes then ETen range, as well as the Hong Kong
GCCS/HKSCS range.
Note that this is not enough to be able to use HKSCS: fonts with HKSCS
characters are needed; if using xfs-xtt, xfs-xtt also needs to be patched.
Even with all that, for some reason, it still doesn't work with GTK...
However, since HKSCS itself is still a non-standard extension to Big5,
is this a right thing to do?
