You cannot use GNOME applications to create PDF documents that contain multibyte characters. This problem affects Gedit and other GNOME applications that use the libgnomeprint library.

Problem  

Bug ID: 4884887 

Legacy languages have been removed from the login screen. The only languages that appear on the login screen are as follows: 

• French

• German

• Italian

• Japanese

• Korean

• Spanish

• Swedish

• Traditional Chinese

Solution  

If you want to have the legacy locales on your login screen, then ask your system administrator to uncomment the entries for the locales in the following file: /etc/X11/gdm/locale.alias

Your system administrator then needs to reboot your system. The legacy locales should then appear in the login screen. 

Problem  

Bug ID: 4961948 

Affects all locales. 

If a Windows partition exists on the hard disk, the installer automatically mounts the partition during installation, and sets the iocharset option or the nls option in the /etc/fstab file to iso-8859–1. This is not the correct value of the iocharset option or the nls option. As a result, the system cannot display localized files or directory names.

Solution  

You need to assign a correct value for the iocharset option or the nls option in the /etc/fstab file for the current locale. Use the values in the following table.

Examples of /etc/fstab file content for the iocharset option and nls option:

• /dev/sda1 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0

• /dev/sda2 /windows/C vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharset=utf8,codepage=932

ja_JP.UTF-8 

nls=utf8

iocharset=utf8,codepage=932

ko_KR.UTF-8 

nls=utf8

iocharset=utf8,codepage=949

zh_CN.gb18030 

nls=gb2312*

iocharset=gb2312,codepage=936*

zh_TW.big5 

nls=big5*

iocharset=big5,codepage=950*

zh_HK.big5hkscs 

nls=big5*

iocharset=big5,codepage=950*

en_US.UTF-8 

de_DE.UTF-8 

es_ES.UTF-8 

fr_FR.UTF-8 

it_IT.UTF-8

On some graphic adaptors, some strings might be rendered incorrectly in the post-installation stage of the Java Desktop System installation. This usually happens when you configure hardware devices such as sound cards, network cards or printers.

Solution  

This problem only occurs during the installation of the Java Desktop System. You can easily configure hardware devices using the YaST2 application after the installation process finishes. To fix this problem, complete the installation process, then log in as root user and customize the necessary hardware settings.

Problem  

Bug ID: 4977300 

Affects the following locales: 

• Chinese locales

Characters printed out from Mozilla to a postscript file are printed with a box. This is because the postscript printer does not bundle Chinese or Korean fonts. CUPS needs to convert the Mozilla postscript fonts before the file can be printed.

Solution  

1. Choose LaunchPreferencesPrinters.

2. Right-click the PostScript printer icon, then select the Properties menu.

3. Open the Advanced tab.

4. Set the Ghostscript pre-filtering to Convert to PS level 1.

When you log into the affected locales, the YaST2 application is not localized.

Solution  

The YaST2 messages for the zh_HK locales are the same as those for the zh_TW locales. Perform the following steps to create a symbolic link from the zh_HK locale to the zh_TW locale:

1. cd /usr/share/YaST2/locale/

2. ln -s zh_TW zh_HK
