Hi,
I have just read, but I didn't test, your patches to LessTif.
In the message below you ask how to submit stuff; well here it is...
We like to know what we're changing; the patch on your web site
does more than changing i18n in XmText/XmTextField. Maybe that's
described in the document, unfortunately I can't read Japanese.
There's fixes to List.c which definitely don't improve i18n.
Also there are a few things that I don't like about your proposed
changes for i18n, maybe you can help us by fixing those problems.
Then we can do some tests and include your code in LessTif.
(I would be very happy to do so, I've always wanted to have i18n
but I don't know the first thing about Asian languages so I can't
test...)
The things I'd like to see changed are :
- we like to stick to the data structures that we currently have;
they closely resemble the ones in Motif, we'd like to avoid
adding fields. Your code adds a couple of fields (max_char_width,
fontset); my question is would it be possible to work without them.
- There are a couple of global variables in XmIm.c. I *definitely*
don't like that :-)
So to summarise : we *do* want your fixes; we'd like them to obey
some rules, please help us get there...
Did I say "thank you" yet ? :-)
