Source code for using LC_PAPER information (473 bytes, text/plain)
2001-05-08 19:47 UTC, Christian Rose 		Details

Description Christian Rose 2001-05-08 11:55:20 UTC 
Currently, Galeon defaults to the "Letter" paper format, a format that is
used nowhere in the world that I know of, except the US.

A nicer, and not so insulting, solution would be to auto-detect the
preferred paper format, and use that as the default. This information is
stored in the locale information in glibc 2.2.

Comment 2 Christian Rose 2001-05-08 19:48:23 UTC 
Ulrich Drepper (drepper@redhat.com) kindly provided the above example
code for using glibc LC_PAPER information.
Comment 3 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2001-05-16 08:14:05 UTC 
Target 0.11
Comment 4 Christian Rose 2001-06-02 22:27:45 UTC 
This seems not to be in the 0.11 prerelease. Is the target still valid?
Comment 5 Christian Rose 2001-08-17 11:20:55 UTC 
This seems to be broken again (tested with Galeon 0.12pre3).
Comment 6 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2001-08-24 19:18:26 UTC 
translating the schema will solve this ...

Comment 8 Christian Rose 2002-07-10 12:26:42 UTC 
Translating the schemas with intltool won't solve this. It only allows
translation of key names and descriptions, not values.
Comment 9 Yanko Kaneti 2002-10-31 13:41:10 UTC 
the corresponding <default> should be put inside the <locale name="C">
.. block with something like   <default>[key_name]value</default> as
per the latest changes in intltool

the resulting msgid "[key_name]value" should be translated to only the
desired value

this needs a intltool from cvs to work properly

Fixed by switch to gtk-print
