  Subject: Mike suggested , I contact Lynx-div for help.

  Hi,

  I am trying to view a text-only browser page in Japanese, Hebrew and many others in text-only browsers like LYNX on UNIX OS.
   
  I tried to set the display character set and the language in the LYNX options menu, but didn't help me viewing the page in Japanese, etc. Can anyone help me, with the settings I need to have in the LYNX
  options menu or any packages I need to load on Unix systems.

  Answers :

  1. What flavor of UNIX you are using? Solaris & DEC
   
  2. Are you at the console? (Is your keyboard plugged into the box that Lynx
  is running on?)
  -YES

  3. Are you using a text mode in the display hardware, or are you using an X
  Window environment with something like term or term?
  -YES, I am using an X Window environment with something like term

  4. If you are not at the console, what ST or telnet software are you using,
  and on what platform? (example: SecureCRT on Windows NT or telnet from an
  term window on your own Linux box)
  -Excursion Server Software on Windows NT

  5. And what shell are you using? Is it csh or tcsh, sh or bash, ksh or zsh,
  or...? -
  --tcsh, don't know which one I need to be on.

  Any help will be appreciated.

  There are many possible points of failure. Rather than ask on the Unicode
  list, you should ask on the lynx-div list. First sift through the
  information at http://www.trill-home.com/lynx.html and
  http://www.trill-home.com/lynx/support.html (where I see some links to info
  for Japanese users of Lynx).

  If those pages are not of much help, write to lynx-dev@sig.net and include
  as much information as possible, including the answers to these questions:

  1. What flavor of UNIX you are using? (Linux? FreeBSD? Solaris? AIX?)

  2. Are you at the console? (Is your keyboard plugged into the box that Lynx
  is running on?)

  3. Are you using a text mode in the display hardware, or are you using an X
  Window environment with something like term or term?

  4. If you are not at the console, what ST or telnet software are you using,
  and on what platform? (example: SecureCRT on Windows NT or telnet from an
  term window on your own Linux box)

  5. And what shell are you using? Is it csh or tcsh, sh or bash, ksh or zsh,
  or...?

  I'm sure there is someone on the lynx-div list who can help you. Good luck.
