RE: RH9-Fedora upgrade problem: Chinese, i18n fonts

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Additional information that I should have
mentioned:  I have added all updates available
via up2date (except Mozilla-related, due to 
some bug) as of 1/1/04.  I did not test whether
simplified Chinese worked before adding the
updates.
