Internationalization
GB18030 Standard
Chapter 9
164
Other input methods like Row-Column and 5-Stroke do not generate GB18030
characters except for those defined in GB2312.
Xlib:
X11R6 has been enhanced to support GB18030.
Fonts:
The following two new bitmap fonts are provided under
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/hp_chinese_s/75dpi along with fonts.alias:
The song18u.pcf and song24u.pcf fonts contain all the 2-byte and 4 byte characters
whose patterns are defined in GB18030, including Mongolian, Tibetan, Yi and Uigur
characters. Those characters are assigned to the code points defined in
ISO10646-1:2000. The fonts are designed to be used for simplified Chinese so the font
names include -cn in the CHARSET_ENCODING field to distinguish them from other
iso10646.2000 fonts designed for other regions/countries.
CDE:
CDE provides support for the new Chinese locale, zh_CN.gb18030. Users are able to
select the new locale at the time of login. CDE provides localization of all CDE
components similar to the zh_CN.hp15CN locale and the user are able to input, display
and print GB18030 characters.
Streams PTY driver:
The Streams PTY line discipline module (LDTERM) has been modified to support
GB18030. It is activated by the eucset command and is used by dtterm to process and
display GB18030 characters. There is no direct user interaction with this driver.
Impact
Base GB18030 offering (installed on all systems): Approximately 25MB.
No additional memory requirements are needed for running in the zh_CN.gb18030
locale.
Applications must elect to enable GB18030 support by setting the LANG environment
variable to the zh_CN.gb18030 locale.
Systems level software localization support for GB18030 is provided at the same level as
for the other supported Simplified Chinese locales: zh_CN.hp15CN and zh_CN.utf8.
Compatibility
There are no compatibility issues involved with the addition of this feature.
