Re: German umlauts shown as double width when (set-language-environment "Japanese")

Aidan> Anyway, that’s talk. Implementing it is something else. It's actually not that hard to do the redisplay parts, I think. We need to handle extents just to get the faces anyway, so attach a language tag to the extent (no Plane 14 stuff, thank you, that's wire protocol). Then since currently when the font is snuffled out of the face, we get language/character set information from the X registry (gag me! why am I saying that so often these days?) the font is just a string. So we can tag fonts with languages or character sets by using a cons, checking for CONSP when extracting the font from the face, and if so using the language/character set information. The language environment stuff ... I don't think this belongs in the language environment. This should be constant data; a Japanese environment should not tell me that my Arphic fonts are for Devanagari! -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
