swtich default language in X-windows

Hi:

I port old DEC alpha OSF-1, 4.0 into freeAXP, and boot successfully.
The OS default setting is Japanese. I try to use Exceed 8.0 to connect.
It seems fonts problem. Login screen can not display on Exceed window.

Exceed 8 is very old,
1. Is there any X-client S/W on Window-7/8 provide multilingual,
so I can connect to DEC-X-window.
Or.
2. Please advise how to switch xdm to English version.

Thanks.

The multi-lingual in X-11 is on the OSF-1 side, not the windows side.

I do not know how to change OSF-1 to be English.

I use Xming on Windows for the server because the current Cygwin/X reports a syntax error when I try to get it to use an external font server.

Hi malmberg:

Thanks for your reply.

I'm not so sure, but as I know, X-11 is different with VNC.
Font should exist in both client/server sites.
"multi-lingual" means X-client can decode japanese character, and display right font in X-window.

Hi

Finally, I find the English xdm-config file then switch to English version.
Use Exceed connect to activate dxsession well.

But now here is the problem.
When I set then network as host-only, use VmWare or VirtualBox network device.
Why Exceed can not connect to? Use Broadcast, dec alpha server is there.
But no any response after select.

X-11 either requires the font to exist on the display side, or you need to have a font server that the display program can reference.

You should be able to set up a font server on OSF/1. It may not be started by default.

Then configure your Exceed program to reference it.

For my home use, I used xming for an xserver and then set it to use my VMS system as the font server. Cygwin/X for the last few versions have reported a syntax error for all attempts to set a font server.

Can you ping both ways between your emulated server and the windows host?

Also, can you telnet into the virtual Alpha?
