translated menus with Xft/fontconfig?

I am using the Xft support in XEmacs for a long time already and like a lot. But until now I always disabled it for the menus because I couldn’t figure out how to make it work for the translated menus. Now I tried again but I still cannot figure out how to make it work. The sumo package comes with translated menus for 4 languages: mfabian＠magellan:~$ rpm -ql xemacs-packages | grep app-defaults /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/de /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/de/Emacs /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/de_DE /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/de_DE.UTF-8 /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/de_DE.UTF-8/Emacs /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/de_DE＠euro /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/fr /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/fr/Emacs /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/fr_FR /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/fr_FR.UTF-8 /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/fr_FR.UTF-8/Emacs /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/fr_FR＠euro /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/ja /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/ja/Emacs /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/ja_JP /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/ja_JP.EUC /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/ja_JP.UTF-8 /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/ja_JP.UTF-8/Emacs /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/ja_JP.eucJP /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/ja_JP.ujis /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/ro /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/ro/Emacs /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/ro_RO /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/ro_RO.UTF-8 /usr/share/xemacs/mule-packages/etc/app-defaults/ro_RO.UTF-8/Emacs mfabian＠magellan:~$ (The files in the .UTF-8 subdirectories are versions converted to UTF-8 while building the xemacs.rpm package). Starting XEmacs in single byte locales works fine, i.e. LANG=de_DE＠euro xemacs loads the German menus and they look OK, including the non-ASCII characters (umlauts). But in multibyte locales it does not work, i.e. LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 xemacs does load the German menus but all non-ASCII characters are not displayed correctly. It doesn’t seem to be a font problem but rather an encoding problem because in de_DE.UTF-8 locale, an ü is displayed as ü, i.e. it looks like the multibyte characters don’t work at all. Is a special setup necessary to make this work or doesn‘t it work at all at the moment? -- 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
