Very bad for intl user - nominate as nsbeta1.

Comment 2

[Roy Yokoyama]

It's regression.  Something most happened recently.
assign to installer team

Comment 3

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

There were zero install changes during that time
http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsquery.cgi?treeid=default&module=all&branch=MOZILLA_1_0_BRANCH&branchtype=match&dir=mozilla%2Fxpinstall&file=&filetype=match&who=&whotype=match&sortby=Date&hours=2&date=explicit&mindate=07%2F15%2F2002&maxdate=07%2F17%2F2002+08%3A00%3A00&cvsroot=%2Fcvsroot

back to you. Something changed in the JA localization during that time I bet.

Comment 4

[Roy Yokoyama]

This is not Japanese localization of license file issue.
Issue is that installer can't display the content of license file (english) on
Japanse locale.
We suspect it contains 'trade mark' symbol, or 'copy right' symbol.

Did the license.txt change recently? 

Comment 5

[Roy Yokoyama]

license.txt is changed by bug 15908 recently,
and as suspected it introduced new symbolic chars. 
http://bugscape.netscape.com/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=7676

 jag: can we revise the license.txt to remove these symbolic chars?

reassign to jag

Comment 6

[Roy Yokoyama]

 jag: can we revise the license.txt to remove these symbolic chars and replace
them with ASCII
         chars (eg.  (R), (TM), etc)

Comment 7

[Jaime Rodriguez, Jr.]

if this is a netscape commercial issue, should we resolve this bug as wontfix,
and make the changes needed to resolve this issue in bugscape

VERIFIED.

Comment 12

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

I'll turn this into a generic install bug, although there's probably not much we
could do if it's a GTK problem.

Comment 14

[Syd Logan]

Can someone attach the license text that we are trying to display when executing
in Japanese locales? 

Comment 15

[jag (Peter Annema)]

So I've "fixed" the problem by replacing the R and TM symbols with (r) and (tm).
Is this bug about fixing the installer code to work better with text files that
have such symbols in them?

Comment 17

[Yuying Long]

Attachment: Screen shot with license file with english locale

To answer the comment #14:
With Japanese and Chinese locale, this license file is dissplayed empty.  As
the descussion before, it might caused by the R and TM symbols in this
attachment.

For those of us without access to Bugscape, can someone point me to where I can
read the details of that bug so I can determine if I need to reopen this bug or not.

I'm reopening this bug as Bugscape is for Netscape bugs, not Mozilla bugs.
