Does anyone success in running Wnn.4.109 with LANG=zh_CN on a Sun/SunOS1.3x?
Would you please share the experience with me?

I have following problems:
(1) when I run uum or cuum, it complained
"Your terminal doesn't have sc entry iin termcap.
 Maybe, your terminal is not strong enough to use Uum!
 Sorry.  Something is wrong with termcap, maybe."

Then I set term=vt100 then it wouldn't complain but it doesn't
work right.  Especially my cxterm has input method implemented in,
I was hoping cuum at least display something. (cxterm is able to
display Chinese).
Another question is that a "term" for XTERMs is "xterm".  A software (uum)
uses other than the default term should say so in the manual how to
set term to what and with the termcap included.

(2) running xwnmo
When with LANG=ja_JP, it seems running O.K.  But unfortunately I don't
understand Japanese.
When with LANG=zh_CN and fontSet=8x16,cclib16st,8x16, it is up and can
also popup windows, but all the text fields in windows are black.
Then I tried to run by gdb
%gdb xwnmo
(gdb)b xlc_util.c:432
432	xfontset = XCreateFontSet(dpy,s,&missing_charset_list,
433			&missing_charset_count,&def_string);
434 	if(xfontset == NULL) ....
(gdb)run
(gdb)s
(gdb)p missing_charset_count
$1 = 2
(gdb) p missing_charset_list[0]
$2 = 0xfa670 "gb2312.1980-0"
(gdb) p missing_charset_list[1]
$3 = 0xfa67e "omron_udc_zh-0"

my questions:
(i)  cclib16st says "GB2312.1980-1".  So I thought I can just edit
/usr/lib/X11/nls/zh_CN.ugb to reflect that. No, it doesn't work!
It caused Xlib failed.  I don't understand why the complain from Xlib.
Please tell me what is the procedure to update or add a new locale to
nls.


Then I tried to modify cclib16st.bdf to with

FONT -CCLIB-Song-Medium-R-Normal--16-160-72-72-c-160-gb2312.1980-0
CHARSET_REGISTRY "gb2312.1980"
CHARSET_ENCODING "0"

and bdf2pcf it and xset to update.   It does not work either.  why?

(ii) what is "omron_udc_zh-0" font?  is it proietary and not free?
The purpose of release Wnn4 to public is to let users being able to
run or at least test it without you have to buy any other part of
software to make it work.  I strongly believe OMRON should included
the necessary fonts if they are not in X11R5 distribution, or at
least tell user where you can ftp to get.

I have spent a lot of time to try make it work, I even print out
read both English and Chinese versions of manual.  But it seems I got
nowhere.  So please help.  I will appreciate very much.
