Seems like we have a topic for a technical meeting sometime next year.

BTW, any TLUGer going to the NY Linux World Expo? The next Li18nux
meeting will be there (expo on Feb 1-4, Li18nux meeting on Feb 7-8).

Subject: [LI18NUX:223] XFree86 i18n and fonts mailing list archives now open
Date: Fri, 26 Nov 99 02:22:31 PST

The XFree86 project has decided to make the formerly password-protected
archives of the project-internal i18n and fonts mailing lists openly
available now. They are on

  http://www.xfree86.org/archives/i18n/
  http://www.xfree86.org/archives/fonts/

These are the mailing lists, where I have seen so far (especially this
summer) the most interesting discussions about practical problems with
using ISO 10646 under X and proposals for how to fix this. Have a look
and you'll find many interesting ideas there.

I'd like to invite you (and especially also the members of the X.Org
font and i18n task forces who are in charge of the X11 standards!) to
join these mailing lists. To subscribe, just contact:

  i18n-request@example.com
  fonts-request@example.com

You won't have to formally become an XFree86 project member or sign
anything to join these two mailing lists.
