I have to confess, being an American, non-latin characters are something that I don't use that often. However, I just went and created a few tags with some dummy characters - a mixture of Cyrillic, Hebrew, and Thai in the same tag, a few Thai descriptions, etc. As near as I can tell, PennAve handled it just fine and should be able to handle non-latin characters. In reality, PennAve never actually knows what the tags are. Python is, for the most part, a pretty unicode friendly programming language. The bindings for SQLite, which is the database for F-Spot, are mostly unicode safe (as of version 2, which is what you need to read the database). LibXML, the library I use for XML conversion is unicode safe. That leaves the major component left as the browser. It works fine on Firefox, on my copy of IE 6 and Windows 2000 some of the characters didn't render probably because I was missing the fonts (the "≫" character also doesn't render on that copy of IE). Hope this helps. --Patrick _______________________________________________ F-spot-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/f-spot-list
