[3f8be484]223    of the various problems that arise due to application programmers making

[3f8be484]225    that utilize multibyte character sets (including UTF-8) or right-to-left
226    writing order.  Numerous unofficial and unstable patches are required to
[fb40919]227    fix these problems, and it has been decided by the CLFS developers not to
[643f8be]228    support such complex locales at this time. This applies to the ja_JP and
229    fa_IR locales as well&mdash;they have been installed only for GCC and
230    Gettext tests to pass, and the <command>watch</command> program (part of
[8184788]231    the Procps-ng package) does not work properly in them. Various attempts to
