Hey, I cc'ed pd-devel to keep people posted and get people involved, I hope that's ok.
I've been thinking that there could be a 5th preference pane for preferences just relating to the Wish/Tcl side of things. The 4 now are all related to pd (paths, startup, audio, midi). Global settings like font, bg/fg color, etc. and also GUI behaviors could be managed in this 5th preferences pane. Perhaps there could be a manual override for the locale in that 5th prefpane. Is that along the lines of what you were thinking? Also, I think might have broken starting from Wish first, this is what I use mostly for testing: rm -f ../bin/pd.tk ; make bin && ../bin/pd (The makefile doesn't handle tracking the Tcl files well, so deleting ../bin/pd.tk forces all Tcl files to be copied again) .hc On Feb 3, 2009, at 1:38 AM, Chun Lee wrote: > Hi there: > > i was going to try out exporting LANG on this laptop i am using atm, > but pd-devel don't seem to run, though it compiled fine.... when i > do ./pd.tk, it got stuck at "setting font to: Courier normal", then > nothing. will try it again later on my main laptop when i am home > next. just looked at the TODO list and will think of something to > work on. have you thought about ways to customise the appearance of > the patch? ie bg/fg colour, font, object colour..etc? maybe i can > look into that? > > cheers > > chun > > Hans-Christoph Steiner said : >> >> I think the msgcat is pretty much sorted out, except for details. >> For >> me, I have just been setting "export LANG=zh" on the command line, >> then >> running it.
