Re: translated menus with Xft/fontconfig?

"Stephen J. Turnbull" <stephen(a)xemacs.org&gt; さんは書きました: Yes, this works indeed. I have a patch attached which does this. But of course this works only, if the translated app-defaults files are UTF-8 encoded. Until now I have packaged: /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/de/Emacs (iso-8859-1 encoded) /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/de_DE (symlink to de directory) /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/de_DE.UTF-8/Emacs (utf-8 encoded) After applying the attached patch, having only /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/de/Emacs (utf-8 encoded) works enough for de_DE, de_DE＠euro, and de_DE.UTF-8 locales with Xft. *But* in the non-Xft case, functions like XmbDrawString() are used which expect the encoding of the current locale, i.e. they need files with different encodings in different subdirectories like de/Emacs and de_DE.UTF-8/Emacs. The easiest (and in my opinion nicest as well) way to fix this would be to use Xutf8DrawString() and friends for the non-Xft case and make the app-defaults files always UTF-8 encoded. But according to the manual page of Xutf8DrawString: The function Xutf8DrawString is an extension introduced by The XFree86 Project, Inc. in their 4.0.2 release. Its presence is indicated by the macro X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING. and I don’t know if there are still systems around which do not have Xutf8DrawString. -- Mike FABIAN <mfabian(a)suse.de&gt; http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。 I � Unicode _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
