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.
Reporter: Can you provide any patches, please ?
Sure. Hang on. I'll post something in the next day or two.
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!
