Hope this is the right request in the right place, the right way.

Want to make sure that rw_RW is available and useable via X.org... I saw that
XFree86 had some locale files where rw_RW could be added, wanted to be sure that
X.org gets it added, too, if applicable.

Kinyarwanda is easily written via simple ASCII, like us-english. No special font
requirements or charset requirements. Can use the same fonts as english.

Can you provide any patches, please ?

Comment 2 Steve Murphy 2005-01-10 13:23:52 UTC

Sure. Hang on. I'll post something in the next day or two.

Comment 3 Steve Murphy 2005-02-23 13:06:25 UTC

Sorry for the wait. I've been poking around in the the X files, and the most I
can find is the aliases for the locales.

Since Kinyarwanda is written using the basic roman alphabet, minus a few
letters, it is perfectly representable via plain ascii or iso8859-1, just like
American English.

So, all I could find on the subject in the X related files is
in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale, in the files compose.dir, and locale.alias...
And I am attaching the patches for these two files. If there are others I need
to look at, please, let me know!
