XTerm does the wcwidth switching (though it does have only one mode of EastAsianAmbiguous=1). However, this is because XTerm is developed by i18n-knowing people. For average X apprication developers, I think such "switching" is already a "complex rendering". Thus, I think we need bi-width or variable-width fonts which covers as many codepoints of Unicode as possible, like the combination of 9x18 and 18x18ja can do. How do you think about this idea? --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/ "Introduction to I18N" http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/intro-i18n/ _______________________________________________ I18n mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/i18n
