[Fedora-i18n-list] what is encoding for certain locale ... how in general to determine it
by joseph speigle
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.

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.

My understanding is that xprint was explicitly disabled in FC3
mozilla/firefox/thunderbird because we consider xprint to be a "legacy"
library that we want to get rid of. 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?
