Localization Issues

This section describes localization issues that apply to the Oracle Solaris 11 Express release.

Japanese Characters Might Not Display Correctly in Java Applications

Due to the limited size of the Live CD, the Japanese IPA Mincho font is not included on the Live CD. As a result, depending on which font family is used, a Chinese font might be used for Japanese text in Java applications.

Workaround: Install the Japanese IPA Mincho font as follows:

# pkg install system/font/truetype/ipafont-mincho

Live CD Includes Only One Locale Per Language

Due to the limited size of the Live CD, the Live CD now includes only one UTF-8 locale per language. For example, for Spanish, only one locale, es_ES.UTF-8 locale (system/locale/es_es package), is available on the Live CD. The other Spanish UTF-8 locales are available in the pkg.oracle.com repository.

The following locales are available on the Live CD, and their locale variants are available in the repository:

ar_EG de_DE el_GR en_US es_ES fr_FR it_IT nl_NL pt_BR ru_RU sr_RS zh_CN zh_TW

Workaround: Install additional locales from the repository. For example:

# pkg install system/locale/es

Input Method Preference Editor Help Fails to Load (8880)

In some locales, the online help for the Input Method Preference Editor, iiim-properties fails to load with an XML parser error.

Workaround:Follow these steps:

1. Install the data/docbook package.

   # pkg install data/docbook

2. Manually execute the following script:

   # /usr/share/sgml/docbook/docbook-catalog-install.sh
