After two days of fiddling by Robin and myself, I'm abandoning hope that this is
a dumb user error.

Japanese text within Nautilus toolbars, menus, and dialog content appears as
garbage characters. (RH 7.0-ja) 

File and folder icons, however, appear in Japanese.

---

All other GNOME applications checked correctly display Japanese characters.
(Didn't check other applications that use Bonobo UI handler.)

Guessing Ramiro.

This is a 1.0.2 blocker.

Love,

Agreed.  This is P0.

I'm unsuccessfully attemping to isolate this. 

Installing red-carpet and its dependent packages results in the entire
gnome-panel exhibiting this identical problem.

don, you can close this bug now that eli has verified that it works.

OK, closing as WORSFORME then.  That OK, Eli?

Technically, I think this is a WONTFIX. 

(It is 100% reproducible on the RH 7.0 checked, but we're assuming that it
doesn't matter since it appears fixed in a beta of an upcoming RH release.)

To be more specific (it was mentioned by e-mail, but never here), the "display
characters as Latin" behavior I described will occur for _all_ GNOME characters
upon restart --- not just Nautilus.

Re-opening this bug while we investigate what's really breaking 7.0 ...




------- Additional Comments From eli@eazel.com 2001-04-16 16:02:08 ----

I'm going to double-check, but this appears to occur exclusively due to the
installation of gnome-libs 1.2.9, which Nautilus requires.



------- Additional Comments From eli@eazel.com 2001-04-16 16:46:14 ----

This problem specifically occurs upon launching Nautilus with the Helix gtk+
1.2.9 package in our software catalog. We upgrade gtk+ to 1.2.9 as part of the
installation.

If you, instead, use the Red Hat 1.2.9-4 gtk+ package from their 7.1 release,
Japanese text displays fine across GNOME.

gnome-libs had nothing to do with it. Sorry.

After talking to Red Hat yesterday, this is turning out to be a non-issue now. 
Sorry about that.  Marking it won't fix.
