Package: libgtk1.2-common
Version: 1.2.10-18
Severity: wishlist

The default fontset in gtkrc.utf-8 are:
fontset = "-*-arial-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1,\
           -*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*"

But the arial and helvetica fonts in debian do not contain any UTF-8 
CJK characters. So that made all gtk+ 1.2 apps cannot display correctly
under CJK locales.

To avoid this problem, we can put the proper fontset either in 
gtkrc.utf-8 or in each of gtkrc.{zh_TW,zh_CN,ja_JP,ko_KR}.utf-8.

I tested this fontset works very under zh_TW.UTF-8 locale:
fontset = "-*-umingmbe-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1,\
           -*-uming-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1,\
           -*-arial-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1,\
           -*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*"

And I wish this could be included in etch as well, cause incorrect 
display always scare users away.
