problem with openoffice

[cran]

[wincent@pcbsd /usr/home/wincent]$ locale
LANG=zh_CN.GBK
LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.GBK"
LC_COLLATE="zh_CN.GBK"
LC_TIME="zh_CN.GBK"
LC_NUMERIC="zh_CN.GBK"
LC_MONETARY="zh_CN.GBK"
LC_MESSAGES="zh_CN.GBK"
LC_ALL=

When I start the OOs, I can input Chinese correctly unless I set export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8 before I fireup the oos.

Even I can input Chinese by this messy way, but when I save odf by Chinese filename, the filename is in UTF-8 encoding (and I can open the file with GBK encoding character as filename). I guess the OOS use UTF-8 as its default encoding, so my question is how to set the relevant parameters so that the OOs works fine?

Thanks

you might try opening writer, going to tools;options;language settings;languages and click the box next to enabled for asian languages. then you can select between 5 variations of chinese, japanese or korean.

you may then need to make changes to default settings but i'm not sure.
