character mapping side (GL, GR, and so on), which is used in the X output
method, see Section 8.2.24, “X Output Method” on page 209.
The XLC_FONTSET information is held in the class fsN (where N=0,1, 2,...). The
fsN class includes encoding information for the Nth character set or charset. For
example, if there are four charsets available in the current locale, four fontsets,
fs0, fs1, fs2, and fs3, should be defined. This class has two subclasses:
charset
font
Specifies encoding information to be used internally in Xlib for this
fontset. An example of the charset format is ISO8859-1:GL
Specifies a code set of the font to be used internally in Xlib for
searching appropriate fonts for this fontset. The left-most entry in this
field has the highest priority.
The XLC_FONTSET category also contains two classes not documented in the
X11R6 "X Locale Database Definition". These are:
object_name
Allows selection of which X Output Method (XOM) will be used.
on_demand_loading
Delays loading the fonts (not the font information) until they are
actually needed. In some cases the on_demand_loading feature has
been used to improve font performance.
8.2.25.2 XLC_XLOCALE Category
The XLC_XLOCALE category defines character classification, conversion, and
other character attributes.
Note: The X11R5's locale database is not compatible with X11R6's locale
database.
8.2.25.3 locale_name/Compose
The locale_name/Compose file contains the compose sequence rule of the locale
for the local input method. This file is mapped to the compose.dir file according to
a locale full name (see Section 8.2.25.4, “Configuration Files” on page 211). This
file is not used by the AIX specific input methods. AIX supplies compose tables
as part of the base operating system.
8.2.25.4 Configuration Files
All configuration files of the X11R6 NLS database are under the
/usr/lib/X11/locale directory.
locale.alias
locale.dir
This file maps a simplified locale name, or alias, to a full locale
name. For example, en_US to en_US.ISO8859-1. The
locale.alias file is referenced first by Xlib to map the simplified
platform-specific locale name to the X internal full locale name.
Xlib uses the full locale name to lookup further information.
This file maps a full locale name to the locale database file that
should be read. The locale.dir file is referenced after the
locale.alias file to determine the locale definition file
corresponding to the X internal locale name. For example,
en_US.ISO8859-1 to iso8859-1/XLC_LOCALE. Note that
/usr/lib/X11/locale is assumed, so libX11 should read in the file
