I apologize if this have been discrussed before, but I may have missed it. The available rpms for ctwm-3.6 are all compiled without the I18N flag defined (I am referring to both Johan Vromans and Rudolph T Maceyko's rpms. I have been using an older rpm by Rudolph T Maceyko, namely ctwm-3.5.2b-5.i386-Linux.rpm, and it had I18N compiled in. Since I need it to show UTF-8 titles, I try to rebuild both newer source rpms with a patch to Imakefile to define I18N. The rebuild was uneventful (I am using a redhat 8.0 machine), and the UTF-8 titles began to show. However I noticed a problem In the strings shown on the small windows in the WorkSpaceManager. Thy are not display in the center of the window, but rather below it. This causes them to disappear completely if the window is not heigh enough. I don't know what causes the problem. I will be happy to supplu data about my setup if required.
Another thing: Already in 3.5, I noticed that although UTF-8 strings woth caharcter codes > +U0100 are shown ok, the accented latin letter, with codes between +U0080 and +U00FF (i.e., whose 16 bits represetation have only one byte, with most significat bit set - these are the non-ascii, iso-8850-1 characters) are not shown at all. So, I can show fancy openning and closing quotes on the window title, but I cannot show an accented letter. I will be obliged for any help you might provide, since I have been using now ctwm for many years and will not switch wm for any cost. -- Dr. Zvi Har'El mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Department of Mathematics tel:+972-54-227607 icq:179294841 Technion - Israel Institute of Technology fax:+972-4-8324654 http://www.math.technion.ac.il/~rl/ Haifa 32000, ISRAEL "If you can't say somethin' nice, don't say nothin' at all." -- Thumper (1942) Tuesday, 4 Shevat 5763, 7 January 2003, 4:39PM
