CTL Is Not Supported in Japanese and Asian UTF-8 Locales (4300239)

Complex Text Language (CTL) support for entering Hebrew, Arabic, or Thai has been implemented in en_US.UTF-8 and European UTF-8 locales, but is not supported in ja_JP.UTF-8, ko.UTF-8, also known as ko_KR.UTF-8, zh.UTF-8, which is also known as zh_CH.UTF-8, and zh_TW.UTF-8 locales.

Workaround: Use the en_US.UTF-8 locale if you need to enter Thai, Arabic, or Hebrew using CTL. If you want to enter those languages in Asian and Japanese UTF-8 locales:

1. Create a symbolic link to common CTL modules. In the case of ja_JP.UTF-8:

   # cd /usr/lib/locale/ja_JP.UTF-8 # mkdir LO_LTYPE ; cd LO_LTYPE # ln -s ../../common/LO_LTYPE/umle.layout.so.1 ja_JP.UTF-8.layout.so.1 # mkdir sparcv9 ; cd sparcv9 # ln -s ../../../common/LO_LTYPE/sparcv9/umle.layout.so.1 ja_JP.UTF-8.layout.so.1

2. Edit the /usr/openwin/lib/locale/ja_JP.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE file by commenting out the load_option delay_nocheck line from Thai, Arabic, or Hebrew entries. For example, in the case of Thai:

   # fs14 class (Thai) fs14 { charset TIS620.2533-0:GR font { # load_option delay_nocheck <--- comment out primary TIS620.2533-0:GR }}
