XWindow is localized as well using Xkb (this is once more stressed for hotshots itching to suggest xrus to me do not worry xrus does not work :)) . All in all what I got is : passive support for well-behaving applications no more no less (by passibe ability just to read is meant) More is desired,though. I need to be able to do following: read and WRITE USENET messages in Russian,use irc in Russian and so on. What I see so far in briefly is following: As soon as I try to switch to Russian(Caps Lock as described) I get diacritic signs in some circles weel-konwn under term krakoziabras form the upper half of default ascii table not Russian fonts that are expected on their places.Xrus does not work either actually it does not even show up on the screen let alone produce any expected actions. As far as I have seen there is substantial amount of Russian users so quick and down to the earth help is requested chiefly from them. Best wishes, Ariel PS Additional questions that should clear the actual situation for potential helpers are surely welcome.
