I have already got Turkish_PiLoc from the same site. I am not understanding the later part of what u have told. i.e ***how to deal with the localization aspect - I'd look at adding support for this code page to PilRC *** , i didnt understand this line. If u could please tell me in simpler words i would be very grateful.
What i am trying now is, there are applications like xFONT and PilRC in which i can make my own characters. Not much known actually clearly.I dont know how to then get these characters into the character map provided by the constructor for palmOS 1.2. I dont know whether i am able to tell u my problem properly, but i would really appreciate any help on this problem.
Unfortunately Constructor won't properly handle Turkish text, even if you added the right fonts. The program itself would have to be modified, and I doubt that PalmSource will be making this change.
Also, Constructor edits Mac OS .rsrc files, which then have to be compiled into a PRC using PalmRez. PalmRez also knows nothing of Turkish, and would have to be modified to work properly.
So you're left with PilRC as a resource compilation option. Since it's an open source project, you can find/download the code and then add support for the Turkish character set. Once you've got the source, searching for how it's been modified to handle Chinese (for example) would be a good way to locate the areas of the code that require changing. I think probably the only real mod you'd need to make is to provide correct character widths for characters in the 0x80...0xFF range.

PS - In general it's better to always send questions to the developer mailing list, as that way (a) other people can provide input, and (b) any response is automatically sent to the list as well, thus benefiting other developers. I'm copying the list in my response, since somebody like Aaron might well have additional details to add re modifying PilRC.
