It works fine for English, doesn't work at all for Chinese and Japanese, and we haven't rigorously tested what happens at the edges of other languages that use Latin script (keeping in mind that not every language that uses the Latin script collates letters the the same way that English does or orders them the same way that English does all the time). We can fix most weirdness in alphabetic or syllabic writing systems upstream in the DocBook locale files. Writing systems that use ideograms are the present stumbling block. > If we're not using any glossdiv to divide up entries, will > glossary.sort work? > glossdiv isn't the problem here (and we're not actually using it in this case at all). You're right, however, that glossdiv makes thing much, much worse, even in languages that use the same writing system.[0] Cheers Rudi [0] an illustration from the Publican User Guide -- http://tinyurl.com/2gx4yq3 -- docs mailing list docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/docs
