Hi Leon,

> - quit the application and reopen

Started following web-page
http://tw.reg.yahoo.com/config/agree?from=http%3a%2f%2fedit.tpe.yahoo.com%2fconfig%2fmail%3f.intl%3dtw

Copied and pasted 1st paragraph to 

1) Kedit 
and save it as /user/twyahoo.txt
2) OOo 
and save it as /user/twyaoo.doc  and  /user/twyaoo.sxw
 respectively
(remark: both as unformatted text)

Reopened them
1) twyahoo.txt, reading only codes - ???????????
2) No problem on both formats, .doc and .sxw, still
reading the pasted text correctly.

$ locale
LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="zh_TW.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="zh_TW.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="zh_TW.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="zh_TW.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="zh_TW.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="zh_TW.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="zh_TW.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="zh_TW.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="zh_TW.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="zh_TW.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="zh_TW.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="zh_TW.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Password:
# find / -type d -name zh_TW.big5
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/zh_TW.big5
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/zh_TW.big5
# find / -type d -name zh_TW.Big5
/usr/share/locale/zh_TW.Big5
/usr/local/share/locale/zh_TW.Big5

# ls /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/zh_TW.big5/XLC_LOCALE

# ls /usr/share/locale/zh_TW.Big5/LC_MESSAGES/
eject.mo  glabels.mo  gtk+.mo  indent.mo  up2date.mo 
xcdroast.mo
# ls /usr/local/share/locale/zh_TW.Big5/LC_MESSAGES/
sylpheed.mo

In 'Xcin' case. it needs 'zh_TW.Big5' folder in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/zh_TW.Big5 not 'zh_TW.big5'
which is for UNIX excluding FreeBSD and also without
'XLC_LOCALE' inside.  If our case is the same can I
rename /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/zh_TW.big5 as

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/zh_TW.Big5

and remove the file
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/zh_TW.Big5/XLC_LOCALE  ???

If YES, in doing so whether there will be any conflict
to other applications and the OS as well.

Kindly advise.  TIA

B.R.
Stephen
