Hi all, |
2 |
|
3 |
at FOSDEM we had a nice discussion about languages, translations etc. |
4 |
Having people from the US (wolf31o2) who never have problems and people |
5 |
from Japan (usata) who always have problems with encodings / |
6 |
charsets / ... was quite interesting. |
7 |
|
8 |
During that discussion we realized that having utf-8 not enabled by |
9 |
default and no utf8 fonts available by default causes lots of |
10 |
recompilation and reconfiguration. |
11 |
|
12 |
Enabling the unicode useflag in the profiles should help our |
13 |
international users and should not cause any problems. Are there any |
14 |
known bugs / problems this would trigger? Any reasons against that? |
15 |
|
16 |
If there are no objections this should be a small but helpful change. |
17 |
|
18 |
On a tangent I wonder if pulling in extra fonts as a dependency of X |
19 |
makes sense (useflag controlled, enabled by default) - that way the |
20 |
unicode capabilities are available without any configuration. |
