Hello, the change for utf-8 are pretty difficult because the functions are messy and do a lot of stuffs, some of them I don't understand.
Especially I have questions about fonts, because a lot lot of tests, etc. are done to allocate the functions. And I think this is maybe possible to simplify this all (then it will be easier to modify for me). But for this I need to understand any line, so that I am sure not to break a functionnality. So these are functional questions (rather than programmation): 1/Can fonts change during the execution of mrxvt? Or is there supposed to be one font for one instance of mrxvt? Or one font for each tab? Or can there really be change of font in the same tab? 2/ What is exactly the "bold" option for, with all this preprocessor variable BOLDFONT. I don't really see where it is enabled or not (I don't see this "feature" in the configure options). What does it do? Set all your text in bold? 3/ In xft, you have also 2 other kinds of fonts: xftpfont and xftPfont. I did not understand what it is. 4/ Is a mfont/xftmfont really needed? I really don't see why we set a different font depending on the fact that it is multibyte or not... On my tests, it does strange things (for instance, I have french characters with accents on 2 columns instead of one because in utf-8, it uses 2 bytes). As far as I understood, font do not really depend on the encoding (or at least, not this way). But maybe there is something I haven't seen myself. So let you explain me. :-) 5/ I would be happy if you could explain me the functional configuration of font in mrxvt. For instance what do you set exactly in .mrxvtrc to change a font (in xft as well as in Xlib), to specify maybe fonts for special cases (bold?..) and all other details about font. But also directly on the command line, and other ways if any... This way I will maybe better understand in the code how the fonts are chosen. Thanks.
