Description Young-Ho Cha 2001-09-10 01:10:46 UTC
I have used localization man pages(in korean).

When I select man pages in help tab of sidebar, nautilus shows man page with
broken characters.

and after I choose charset in view menu to view with right charset, 

nautilus shows blank page, or previous visited web page.

Is this just a problem with Korean?

Changing component to "Internationalization (i18n)".
Reassigning to Ramiro.

Can you spoonfeed me the steps to reproduce this problem ?

I explain that in this page.

Thanks for the explaination.

I dont seem to have Korean man pages on my system, even though i have a bunch of
other translated ones, like man-pages-ja for example.  Where can I get these ?

Also, i tried the following:

http://kr.yahoo.com

Which is the Korean Yahoo web site, and selected the EUC-KR encoding from the
view menu and it worked.

So that mean that viewing html content encoded as such works.

Now, I tried the exact same experiment you describe and got the same results.

I end up with a blank page, just like you.

The blank page "about:blank" is a special url that mozilla recognizes as a blank
page.  Its whacky that Nautilus is displaying that at all.

Its possible that our streaming usage of Mozilla is somehow broken such that
specially encoded web pages (other than ascii) dont display.

So we do indeed have a bug here.  Thanks for the bug report.  Ill try and debug
it some more over here, but it might be too late for 1.0 to fix this, since we
only have 1 day left to make 1.0 fixes.

If not for 1.0, we should definately fix this right after that.

Unrelated to the above, do you know where I can download Korean scalable fonts ?

I would like to test Korean stuff more in the future with Nautilus and I couldnt
find anywhere on the net where Korean fonts could be had for free.

I notice in one of your screen shots that the sidebar tabs are rendering
properly in Korean - which is very cool, especially since I've never seen this
working before.  Thanks.

Upping the time estimate to 1 day.

You can download korean man page from

Great!  Thanks for the info.  I can test Korean stuff better now.

I'm so sorry, we just couldn't get this into 1.0 in time.  We'll fix it soon.
