I'm arguing with my parter on this, too. An ideal situation at last should be: osgDB::readNodeFile( "a_chinese_or_japanese_string" ); And the osgDB back-end can parse it from current system code page into wide characters and send to following file handlers. There are two ways to achieve this: a String class encapsulating related methods, or just some conversion functions like present convertUtf8ToUtf16(). I personally prefer the second way and think that the conversion can be done without user interfering. The String class can be used in user level, too, but it seems to be a little superfluous for a rendering engine. We could just keep everything in our hands in this case. :-) Cheers, Wang Rui _______________________________________________ osg-submissions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-submissions-openscenegraph.org
