Re: [I18n]xterm to invoke luit
Tomohiro KUBOTA [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi Tomohiro, I agree with the general idea. I would like to change a few details. I would suggest one new resource: XTerm*utf8Filter: /usr/X11R6/bin/luit If utf8Filter is set, and XTerm is in UTF-8 mode, XTerm will spawn filter prog args instead of prog args In addition, I suggest that the utf8 resource should be changed to a tri-valued flag: it can be false, true, or auto, the latter meaning that XTerm should run in UTF-8 mode if the locale is multi-byte, and in eight-bit mode if it is not. The defaults for these resources should be XTerm*utf8Filter: projectroot/bin/luit XTerm*utf8: auto (or perhaps true?) TK - emulate doublewidth de-facto standard for east Asian encodings TK(using http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/scw-proposal.html ?) With all due respect, I refuse to implement Markus' proposal. TK - luit to support more encodings TK(http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/2001-11/msg00093.html) Yep. Boring, but must be done. TK - whether xterm or luit will support BiDi or not. Usage of fribidi TKmay have license problem (like Robert Brady's patch). My personal opionion is that BIDI belongs above the terminal emulator. And the number 1 item: include your fix for SS in EUC-JP (actually a slightly improved version).

[I18n]xterm to invoke luit
Hi, XFree86 4.2 has been released. Thus, I'd like to start an improvement of xterm to invoke luit, so that xterm will obey the current LC_CTYPE locale not only when it is one of UTF-8 locales but also when it is one of various major locales (which luit supports). My idea is: - adding -lc command line option and locale resource (boolean) to specify whether luit will be invoked or not. - luit will be invoked only when locale is other than C, POSIX, or UTF-8. - when luit will be invoked, xterm will be need to be UTF-8 mode. This will be done automatically. - xterm -e ... has to work well even with luit. - A new sample resource file XTerm-locale.ad will be supplied. - manual page will need explanation of this new feature. If nobody is working on this so far, I'd like to develop this and to send a patch to XFree86 finally. Items which need further discussion: - emulate doublewidth de-facto standard for east Asian encodings (using http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/scw-proposal.html ?) - luit to support more encodings (http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/2001-11/msg00093.html) - whether xterm or luit will support BiDi or not. Usage of fribidi may have license problem (like Robert Brady's patch). However, my work above will be able to be started without waiting for conclusions of these discussions.

It doesn't support GB18030 so far, though Juliusz is willing to support it. See his message at If I do # LANG=zh_TW.Big5 xterm -u8 -e luit Warning: couldn't find charset data for locale zh_TW.Big5; using ISO 8859-1. # xterm -u8 -e luit -g2 'Big 5' # LANG=zh_TW.Big5 It still cannot display any big5 encoded char.
