           Summary: some i18n changes/corrections
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: * Other
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: pablo at mandrakesoft.com


The attached patch does some i18n/changes corrections;
it is what is used in Mandrakelinux packaging of xorg
Here it what it does:

- renames "koi8-c" encoding to "koi8-k" ("koi8-c" actually exists
  and is used (in non-X11 systems) for a *different* encoding,
  so it is misleading to use that naming here; note however
  that this "koi8-k" is not a standard encoding, it is unique
  to XFree86/Xorg, and was created (by me) at a time when
  unicode support was not yet functional, as a way to be able
  to display some cyrillic chars not covered by the already
  existing encodings. It is not used any longer in Mandrakelinux
  and I doubt it is still used anywhere; so it could be
  completly removed maybe)
- removes "isiri-3342" and "nokhchi-1" which AFAIK had never
  ever been used.
- rewrite of en_US.UTF-8 XLC_LOCALE so it gives priority
  to various 8bit encodings (iso8859-*, koi8-{r,u}, tisc620-0,...)
  before the CJK ones and the unicode one; that gives better
  results (that is particularly an issue with cyrillic and greek,
  as CJK fonts have cyrillic and greek chars, but usually
  in doublewidth monospaced glyphs; as a result, sidplay of
  Russian or Greek text in UTF-8 locales for old X11 programs
  is awful). (maybe something similar to #1787)
