Re: XEmacs/GTK does menus...

GTK I18N docs are nonexistent, the ChangeLogs and News files are discouraging, containing comments about "the internal representation is in flux". I don't have time to follow another ML or read the source, and nobody else on XEmacs-beta seems to know. It is highly likely that by the time XEmacs TUG (The Unicode Generation) appears, GTK will have that sorted, somewhat less likely that it will be accurately documented. The big objection for X users, though, is fonts. Last time I looked, using TrueType fonts supplied with Japanese Windows outside of Windows was illegal; that was a couple of years ago, though, and it is not clear a court would enforce. But there are in general few fonts, even in Windows, that cover the whole range of Unicode; I suspect that GTK is probably not going to provide functionality equivalent to Ben's charset-keyed font specifiers. So for the next couple of years I imagine we will have to manage multiple fonts, each with a limited range of charset coverage, to get full Mule functionality.
