Customizing SoftBench for Native Language Support (NLS)

Preparing to Use NLS in SoftBench

path. Be sure that your value of LANG and your X server font search path are consistent. See “Setting the LANG Environment Variable” on page 364 for more information on LANG and character-set representation.

5.Set the *Scheme resource using xrdb or specify it in your

$HOME/.Xresources file to indicate the color and font scheme file you wish to use. See the documentation shipped with your localized version of SoftBench to determine the correct value for the *Scheme resource.

Note that the default font specifications used by SoftBench support all of the USASCII, Roman8, and ISO 8859.1 characters.

6.Decide whether to remove the conflict between Extend char used to enter non-USASCII data and Extend char used as "Alt" in SoftBench edit commands. See the "Edit Area Keybindings" topic in SoftBench Online Help to determine which edit commands use "Alt," and see “Rebinding Alt” on page 366 below for instructions on removing the conflict.

7.If you prefer to minimize your use of the mouse, you probably like to use menu mnemonics and keyboard accelerators whenever possible. SoftBench menu mnemonics and keyboard accelerators may prevent the input of non-USASCII characters used in your native language environment. You can customize your SoftBench environment to remove these conflicts. See the “SoftBench Mnemonics and Non-USASCII Character Inputs” on page 367 and “SoftBench Keyboard Accelerators and Non-USASCII Character Inputs” on page 369 sections later in this chapter for details.

8.If you plan to use SoftXEmacs with non-USASCII data, see "Setting Your Meta Key Binding" in SoftBench Online Help for a discussion of your options.

9.Follow any other directions that come with your localized version.
