Other CDE Users Unite!

This is wrong.

Do you have any font issues?

No issues here. Everything looks fine.

To fix this I have modified my dtsession_res, adding the following after rCustom=... (Sorry I don't have a real patch. I updated the file in /usr/local. It will make it into the tree.)

Add the following after rCustom=

if [ ! -f "$rFactory" ]; then
        rFactory=/usr/local/dt/config/C/sys.resources
fi
if [ ! -f "$rCustom" ]; then
        rCustom=/usr/local/dt/etc/config/C/sys.resources
fi

This assumes you installed your hand-built CDE into /usr/local/dt. Adjust the pathnames accordingly if you put it in /usr/dt.

I followed these steps: https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/FreeBSDBuild/

Sorry for the late reply and thank you for your work!

The real solution is to add *international: true to one's resources or add -xrm '*international: true' to the arguments of any misbehaving apps.

I'm pondering making x11/cde-25 default next week. Does anyone have any objections?

Adding one's own Xresources to CDE is a bit of a hack. I'm kind-of thinking of adding an option for those who use ports that would append #include ".Xresources", or simply make it default so anyone can use it should they choose to create a .Xresources file.

My .Xresources now contains the following which mitigates the regression:

# Fix for gb2312.1980 overriding iso8859
XPostit.*international: false
*international: true

Anyhow, if people are willing, I will make cde-25 the default cde.

I will make cde-25 the default cde.

That would be great!
