---|
| 180 | of the various problems that arise due to application programmers making |

| 181 | assumptions that break in such locales, CLFS should not be used in locales |
---|
| 182 | that utilize multibyte character sets (including UTF-8) or right-to-left |
---|
| 183 | writing order. Numerous unofficial and unstable patches are required to |
---|
| 184 | fix these problems, and it has been decided by the CLFS developers not to |
---|
| 185 | support such complex locales at this time. This applies to the ja_JP and |
---|
| 186 | fa_IR locales as well—they have been installed only for GCC and |
---|
| 187 | Gettext tests to pass, and the <command>watch</command> program (part of |

| 188 | the Procps package) does not work properly in them. Various attempts to |
