by joseph speigle 25 Jan '05

Hi, i need some help from more experienced people. I am inputting hangul with iimf. my environemtn sets LANG=ko_KR.UTF-8 a [joe@www joe]$ rpm -qa | grep iimf iiimf-emacs-11.4-60 iiimf-client-lib-11.4-60 iiimf-le-hangul-11.4-60 iiimf-protocol-lib-11.4-60 iiimf-client-lib-devel-11.4-60 iiimf-le-canna-11.4-60 iiimf-protocol-lib-devel-11.4-60 iiimf-server-11.4-60 iiimf-gtk-11.4-60 iiimf-le-unit-11.4-60 iiimf-csconv-11.4-60 iiimf-le-newpy-11.4-60 iiimf-docs-11.4-60 iiimf-x-11.4-60 [joe@www joe]$ cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) [joe@www joe]$ however, if i type a c++ file with some strings in C++ my postgres refuses to accept some of its characters with the if I set the client_encoding to EUC_KR, but if I set client_encoding to UTF8 it matches incorrectly. it is not matching in the database. for some reaons. I want to learn how to discover what encoding I have by looking at the hex dump of my file. For a shortcut, is iimf inputting my stuff in UTF-8 or EUC_KR? the locale says UTF-8 is this true? where is there a reference in the net where I can look at the hex sequences of differnt encodings? like, a master sheet? Also, is there a reliable tool/library for determining encodings. I look now at mozilla's encoding deterctor but I don't know if the library is separable from the source tree. any input welcome!!!! thanks for your time. joe I -- if you're christian, god bless; otherwise, good luck; and, if you dont believe in luck ...

Warren, Akira, Thanks for the help! Warren : I have MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1 exported, is that PANGO enabled? It seems to make no difference printing. Square boxes for Thai characters. Akira : Who is "they" who don't use gnome-print? Me? or Redhat? or Firefox? or Xprint? Is there anything I can do about this? Thanks again for your help. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? All your favorites on one personal page � Try My Yahoo! http://my.yahoo.com

If this caused problems for Thai printing, this is an unfortunate side effect. I wonder if running in PANGO mode would make a difference here. Anyone else have any thoughts?
