In addition to what Ed suggested, it was also needed to add simplified Chinese within the "System Settings" GUI under the user name in the upper right corner of the screen.  I also wrestled with preferences in Konsole, Terminal, and XTerm.  Things now seem to be fine in LibreOffice.  I can create a new simplified Chinese or mixed file with vi(m).  But...

I imported from a Redhat 9 system many files created by vi and containing a mix of English and simplified Chinese.  When I load any of those into vi(m) on the Fedora-18 system, the simplified Chinese is not displayed properly.  I notice at the bottom of the Konsole/XTerm/Terminal, there is a message saying "converted".  I don't know if there's a connection.  Both the message and the failure to properly display the simplified Chinese happen regardless of the simplified Chinese encoding that I choose in the terminal's preferences.  Any ideas/suggestions anyone?

thanks,
Bill.
