[SOLVED]Getting Conky to display Chinese

How do I get my conky to display Chinese? I have some Chinese songs and the mpd thing in conky just shows the artist's names as boxes. I have scim pinyin installed, by the way.
Also, on pypanel, it won't display the chinese fonts as well, though it displays the words correctly on the sonata program and title itself.

It didn't work. Chinese fonts are still showing boxes and special characters. Here's my conkyrc, just for reference, with the mpd part at the bottom.

Any chance I can get my e71 display Chinese?

I just got my e71 and its great. However I also view a lof of files in Chinese. Any chance I can get it to display Chinese characters instead of some weird squres? Thanks.

Hi roywang25,
Welcome to the Nokia forum.
If your E71 doesn’t have Chinese installed, you’ll need to get a language pack land including Chinese.
There are 2 options that can be done by a Nokia Care Points:
1. Installation of the language pack (this application will erase if hard reset)
2. Flash of the phone with the language version (this will be permanent)
Please contact your local Nokia care point :
http://europe.nokia.com/find-a-store
Let me know how you get on so that I can troubleshoot further, if necessary.

[SOLVED]get ncmpcpp to display music tags with latin characters

ok; so i have a few mp3 with non-standard characters "e" with an accent, "a" with a squiggly, that sort of thing (sorry i don't know the actual names of those characters).
in ncmpc the names are displayed as like "Axe" or the copyright symbol and ncmpc throws up an error about 'unable to convert to ANSCII something or other...'; they looked much the same as the filenames were displayed in xterm (until i changed them).
ncmpcpp just doesn't show those titles at all; though, the files still play just fine.
i figured since i got these files from a windows friend, it was just something lost in translation; the other day however, i noticed amarok displays the titles correctly; moreover, i got conky to display the title names correctly with the "override_utf_locale yes" option
i've been through the wiki about locales... a few times... here's some output
$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=C
$ locale -a
C
POSIX
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8
i have this in my .bashrc:
export LC_ALL=C
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
i did this because any other "export LC_ALL" settings make certain gtk apps complain about "error setting locale... defaulting to C"; conky complains too
in the updated mpd.conf i found these two settings:
#filesystem_charset "UTF-8"
#id3v1_encoding "ISO-8859-1"
i've tried uncommenting as is and switching id3v1_encoding to UTF-8; neither fixes my ncmpcpp problem
would the mpd.conf settings help and what should i put in there
i'm english speaking in the US, is "LC_ALL=C" the correct export? if i use ISO... or UTF-8 which ISO, and is it quotes or no quotes in .bashrc?
the locale wiki wrote:For example you can use the en_US.iso8859 locale, though there is no advantage of using it.
what does that mean?
any help much appreciated

Try without the export lines in bashrc, I am not sure what the purpose of those is with en_US. Xterm should have utf support but to be sure try uxterm or some other terminal.
Are the files on an ntfs partition by any chance? You have to mount it with a locale flag if so.
thanks for the reply; i remember now that xterm needs to be opened as uxterm or xterm -u8 but i hadn't done that at the time, i just noticed the actual filenames had odd characters so i used tab-completion to just rename them to conventional letter equivalents.
the files were copied _from_ an ntfs drive most likely, but they now reside on my ext3 partition.
i'll comment that LC_ALL line in .bashrc but i think i have to login/out for that to take affect right, there's no unexport command?
i do remember that i initially put in that LC_ALL=C export b/c w/o it, some programs would fail to open;
earlier today i changed to LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 and i didn't get any complaints starting any apps. what did happen was ncmpcpp went from not displaying those affected track titles at all to displaying them incorrectly (bad characters and odd line-wrapping).
i think this may boil down to an id3v1 tag issue... it's pretty unimportant, just annoying

[Solved] Trying to get conky to display hebrew right...

ok,
So i've been using ${mpd_status} to display my songs on conky. However, some of my song's names are in hebrew, and hebrew has this problem that the terminal (and conky) display it the other way around. For exaple, hebrew word abc (a,b,c are hebrew letters) are displaed cba. So, I wrote 2 scripts: One to reverse the hebrew so on the terminal it looks "ok" (If it sounds rediculus to you, that's the way we get around the hebrew problem on computers, we've been doing it since computers were invented), and another to get the song's name and feed it to the first script.
So, after all this work, I managed to make the scripts display hebrew song names on the terminal perfectly. However, conky refuses to show my song names. English eongs work fine, hebrew songs are just not displayed. This leads me to believe there's a problem. I was wondering if the kind people of the forum can help?
PS I realize this is in the gray area between programming and help. That's why I put it in here. If the admins think there's a better place for it, please move this tread, thank you.

Additional info: Unless I made a mistike, the script's output should be utf8. I looked around and apperantly sometimes the font's at fault so I decided to try a hebrew font, but no luck.
SOLVED: Ok, solved my own problem. I saw this error:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xa0' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
and decided to invastigate it. It lead me to the following page: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4924 … -in-python
Basiclly turns out python's print command outputs in ASCII. I modified my main as instructed in the page, to change the default encoding to utf-8 and it did the trick!
Another thing I had to do in my .conkyrc was to set "override_utf8_locale yes" in the config. I now have working hebrew in my conky! I hope others will find this post in the future and be saved the trouble.

Can't get conky-cli and bash scripts to both display in dwm statusbar!

I'm trying to configure my dwm status bar to display some simple information using conky-cli and bash scripts. At first I tried just letting conky run the bash scripts (for network and volume state), but this increased my cpu usage by about 5%, which is significant considering I normally have 1-3% usage when idle. Also, I wanted to keep conky because it makes the display of certain information easy, such as cpu & RAM usage.
The problem is I'm having trouble getting both to display side by side. Here are the relevant parts of my .xinitrc:
network(){
iwconfig wlan0 2>&1 | grep -q no\ wireless\ extensions\. && {
echo wired
exit 0
essid=`iwconfig wlan0 | awk -F '"' '/ESSID/ {print $2}'`
stngth=`iwconfig wlan0 | awk -F '=' '/Quality/ {print $2}' | cut -d '/' -f 1`
bars=`expr $stngth / 10`
case $bars in
0) bar='[-------]' ;;
1) bar='[#------]' ;;
2) bar='[##-----]' ;;
3) bar='[###----]' ;;
4) bar='[####---]' ;;
5) bar='[#####--]' ;;
6) bar='[######-]' ;;
7) bar='[#######]' ;;
*) bar='[--!!!--]' ;;
esac
echo $essid$bar
exit 0
volume(){
vol=$(amixer get Master | awk -F'[]%[]' '/%/ {if ($7 == "off") { print "MM" } else { print $2 }}' | head -n 1)
echo Vol: $vol%
exit 0
conky | while true; read line; do xsetroot -name "`$line` `volume` `network` `date '+%a %m-%d-%Y %I:%M%p'`"; done &
exec dwm
(let me know if it would help to post any other files)
For some reason when I run this I only get the network/volume scripts and date running, updating every second (I think). The conky line just doesn't show up. I don't know what could be wrong, since I didn't see any error messages.
An even better solution would be to just have shell scripts to display CPU and MEM usage. I have a dual-core cpu, cpu0 and cpu1. I'd like to see both percentages if possible, or at least a percentage that is an accurate average of the two or something. In conky-cli I have something that shows:
cpu0/1: xx% xx%
Also, seeing RAM usage would help a lot. In conky it shows:
mem: xx% (xxxMB)
These are the ways I would like to have bash scripts show them, if possible, but I have zero skill in bash programming. I made this an option in case it's easier/cleaner/less resource hungry than a conky solution. Personally, if they're about the same in these aspects, I would prefer something with conky and the shell scripts because conky is so extensible, yet it's only flaw is executing scripts with minimal resource usage.
Help?

Thanks. I was thinking of using load average to save a few characters, but I didn't quite understand the numbers. I'll try that once I get to my Linux box, but could you please explain or post a link to something that explains load average (what's low, high, normal, etc.)?
EDIT: I found a website that explains loadavg. I now have my dwm status bar displaying it perfectly (yay!). Now I just need to add a few more things like battery status, etc. and I might be done. I'll probably post here if I have more questions, though.
Thanks for your help!

How can I get my desktop display to go to 1440*900?thanks[solved]

I am using KDE 4,My problem is I can't set my graphics display to 1440*900
In my searching
I've found this on the Ubuntu forum, which seems to be my issue. It doesn't matter what I set up in xorg.conf file, it ignores it.
It references a file called "kcmrandrrc", which doesn't seem to exist on my system. I am not sure where KDE is getting the 320x200, 320x240, 400x300,...,640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768 graphics modes. It's not from xorg.conf.
I found this file...
"krandrrc"
Which contains the following...
[Screen_0]
OutputsUnified=false
UnifiedRect=0,0,0,0
UnifiedRotation=1
[Screen_0_Output_CRT1]
Active=true
Rect=0,0,1154,768

Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Then you put in the 1400x900 that you wanted in the Modes line.
If you are to use Xorg -configure successfully, you will need to do it from a console screen. If you are using like kdm or gdm, I would suggest that you log out, then go to a console screen (<ctrl><alt><f1>) and then log in to an account. You will need to su, and then issue the following command to shut down x: telinit 3 that command should shut down X and your login manager.
After that you can run Xorg -configure and do whatever else you need with it.
Then, to get back to what you had before, the command telinit 5 should restore you back to your gdm or kdm or whatever. (Normally <Ctrl><Alt><F7> will get you back to your login manager, if it doesn't try F6 or F8 until you find it.)

I can't get iTunes (Mac OS X) to display chinese characters properly...

Hi, I suppose it is because of the ID3 Tags being not properly read by itunes right? cos my Mac can display chinese no problems, specially it can display the mp3 files with it's chinese title in the Mac OS X Mountain Lion Finder no problem!
I have tried somethning called the "Unicode Rewriter", tried converting using Source Encoding as : Big5, Big5_HKSCS, Cp9xx, EUC_TW, ISO2022CN_CNS, MS950... everthing they had for Chinese Traditional Encoding... They all showed up in itunes in Chinese Characters after converison, but it is not the correct word... somethimes it changed even into Korean!
I read about ID3Mod2 but it costs 8US$, and I am not even sure it will work!?While the Unicode Rewriter is Free! but i dont understand why it didn't work though... it seem to be doing what it is suppose to, but just the encoding is maybe not the right one!?
Anybody experiencing the same type of problem and found a solution?
Thanks for your help

Oh I forgot to mention that I'm using a straight cable as resource to the network. I do have access to the internet and some other networkdisks, But I can't access the main one, which is described above.
Thanks!

To display chinese/japanese language Character filename - Java Programming

In Our application supports to upload a file with name in chinese/japanese language Character. When user tries to download filedownload dialog box is appearing with the filename as junk characters.
How to solve this issue to display the filename as uploaded.

Have your tried googling your problem?
I found this article: [http://www.chinesecomputing.com/programming/java.html|http://www.chinesecomputing.com/programming/java.html] That seems promising, but ofcourse I cant tell if it will work on your application without seeing a shred of code.
Im certain there is others that has had the same problem before, and put up their solutions on the net.

Displaying chinese characters in browser

----->String encode=ServletContext.getInitParameter("javaEncoding");
----->request.setCharacterEncoding(encode); (it gets encoding UTF-8 from web.xml file)
In my MYSQL,i set...

so,i changed client,connection,results,system charactersets " utf8" and connection collation is "utf8".
In my DATABASE connection String...i added,

Do you know how to solve these two problems??
(The most concern is that how to display Chinese in AWT)
Thanks

For starters, you shouldn't use the 8859 encoding since it only supports single byte representations. You should be able to successfully use UTF-8. Then to actually display the characters...or to type them, make sure you have an input method editor (IME) that supports the language - in theory if you are using a Chinese Win2k, you already have this with windows - just use the right font (I think MS Gothic should work) to show the characters. You might want to consider switching to Swing.
Good luck

Displaying Chinese characters in SQL*Plus

DB version: 11.2
OS Version : AIX 6.1

To display chinese characters in SQL*Plus, I did the following:
$ export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
$ export LC_ALL=zh_CN.GB2312
$ export NLS_LANG="SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16GBK"
$
$ sqlplus / as sysdba

²Ý ----------------------------------------> Getting a junk character instead of chinese If I was using putty, are the above steps enough to get chinese characters displayed ?
Our ssh client is Tectia (not putty).
According the below ML Note, the SSH client has to configured correctly to use globalization features.
+The correct NLS_LANG setting in Unix Environments [ID 264157.1]+
Googling "Tectia + Chinese" didn't return useful results

I understand that you are talking about Windows SSH Client.
For Putty, you should set:
$ export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
$ export LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8
$ export NLS_LANG="SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.AL32UTF8"
and configure Putty in Window->Translation to use UTF-8.
There is nothing about this subject on Tectia website and in their manuals, so my best guess is that the client requires Windows code page to work correctly. In such case you need to set your Windows system default locale (locale for non-Unicode programs) to Chinese and use the following settings on the server:
$ export LANG=zh_CN.GBK
$ export LC_ALL=zh_CN.GBK
$ export NLS_LANG="SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16GBK"
Verify with 'locale -a' that the setting zh_CN.GBK is supported on your system.

Display Chinese in JEditorPane

Hi,
I've a problem in displaying Chinese characters in Applet using JEditorPane. The java codes like this:
JEditorPane editorPane = new JEditorPane();
editorPane.setEditable(false);
editorPane.setContentType("text/html; charset=big5");
try {
URL fileURL = getURL("testfile.html"); // get URL from getCodeBase()
displayURL(fileURL, editorPane);
} catch (Exception e) {}
private void displayURL(URL url, JEditorPane editorPane) {
try {
editorPane.setPage(url);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("Attempted to read a bad URL: " + url);
If I run these codes in JFrame, the Chinese characters can display correctly. But once I convert it to JApplet, all Chinese characters are changed to some squares or some special characters. Should I have something missing from my coding or I wrote something wrong in my code? Please help. Thanks.

Hi,
just a guess, i think u can use setContentType to set the MIME type

JEditorPane -- displaying chinese characters in browser

Is it possible to display chinese characters in an applet in a browser, I have read Jaric S.'s article on it.. but it is a little confusing.. however without doing any of that coding I have chinese showing up on one machine in IE, but not on any other machines with IE. Any thoughts anyone?

Is it possible to display chinese characters in an
applet in a browser, I have read Jaric S.'s article on
it.. but it is a little confusing.. however without
doing any of that coding I have chinese showing up on
one machine in IE, but not on any other machines with
IE. Any thoughts anyone?Browser Java is particularly sensitive to the version of Java the browser supports. Some browser companies, notably Microsoft, haven't updated their Java implementation in 4 years. Likewise users who are using old versions of other browsers probably have old versions of Java. This makes it very hard to predict how anything will work when it depends on a browser's VM.
There are two ways to combat this. First you can use Sun's Java Plugin to replace the VM used by your browser with a modern one that supports your applet. Second, you can use Java WebStart which allows programs to be launched from a browser but run in an independant VM. These two things might help you get consistent results for your applets.
Hope this helps,
Brian.
