how/where to set Visualworks's GUI language/script?

Dear all,

I just tried to move an existing installation of Visualworks from an
Ubuntu 10.10  box to a fresh Archlinux  box and most (not all, though)
of the interface now appears to be in  Arabic script.

The panes in the class browser, retc., all contain Arabic script. I
guess there is some system-wide language variable that Archlinux does
not set and Visualworks check?


Any help appreciated,


Stefano

Stefano,

Screenshots would help greatly in understanding what that symptom looks
like.

Stefano,

try installing a package providing x.org-fonts (xorg-fonts-75dpi and/or
xorg-fonts-100dpi).

Hi Boris,

sorry for the late reply as other priorities took over.
I am attaching a screenshot of the VW's main window to illustrate the
problem. The script looks like Arabic to me, but I may be wrong. The
problems seems to be  image-related, since the standard images shipped
with VW's  distributions show up just fine. This particular image is
also fine in a Kubuntu 11.04 environment. Not so in Archlinux (both
x86_64, but the VW's VM I am running is 32 bits).
Thanks for the help,

Stefano
