909	i18n incomplete in BLFS	alexander@…	blfs-book@…	"1)
The new glibc in new LFS now installs all UTF-8 locales. That's bad for 
users who use Gnome Display Manager since it chooses UTF-8 locales by default if
they are available, and (B)LFS is broken (wontfix) in such locales. Make GDM
choose the well-supported non-UTF locales by default by editing the
/etc/gnome/gdm/locale.alias file

2) 
LFS currently installs vim with the language files, BLFS doesn't. This 
must be fixed.

3)
When installing X for users in non-iso8859-1 locales, the 
/etc/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias file must be edited manually 
in order to ensure that the fonts with the correct encoding are used for 
""fixed"", ""variable"", ""10x20"" and similar aliases.

4)
When installing Glib2, one more evnironment varlable should be added to 
/etc/profile.d/i18n.sh

G_FILENAME_ENCODING=@locale

Otherwise Glib will think that filenames are in UTF-8. The ""ls"" binary from
coreutils always thinks that filenames are in the default locale encoding, not
in UTF-8, and I (as opposed to glib developers) think that ""ls"" is right."	defect	closed	highest		BOOK	SVN	medium	fixed
