Configuring locale and support for other languages in an AIX, Linux, or Linux on System z system

Add language fonts for your AIX®, Linux®, or Linux on System z® operating system if you need to display an X Window desktop in a specific-language user interface. Follow your operating system administration guide to install other language fonts.

About this task

Configure your X-session manager application to use the fonts for your operating system. See your X-session manager application administration guide for details about adding fonts or accessing them on the server. Make sure to add a locale for the language that is used and also to add the UTF-8 locale. Set the server locale to the UTF-8 locale.
