I think we should do that only for those languages that can't be shown in the menu. Since this depends on a complex interaction of platform, fonts and locales, I think the programmer wanting to put something into a menu can't be reasonably expected to make a guess. So I think that we should add something like (defun menu-string-supported-p STRING &optional DISPLAY) that will tell a programmer whether a given platform is supposed to be able to display a given string. It is really something that Emacs needs to tell the programmer. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
