Hey Bryan,
I'd like to try to get your UTF-8 code into pd-gui-rewrite. You
mention in this posting back in May that you had the whole thing
working. I couldn't find the diff/patch for this. Is it posted
anywhere? Do you want to try to check it in yourself directly to the
pd-gui-rewrite/0.43 branch?

morning all,
Of course I never really like to see my code wither away in the bit
bucket, but I personally don't have any pressing need for UTF-8
symbols,
comments, etc. in Pd -- I'm a native English speaker, after all ;-)
Also, my changes are by no means the only way to do it (or even the
best
way); we could gain a little speed by slapping on some more buffers
(mostly and possibly only in rtext_senditup()), but since this seems
to
effect only GUI/editing stuff, I think we can live with a smidgeon of
additional cpu time ... after all, it's all O(n) anyways.
Really I just wanted to see how easy (or difficult) it would be to get
Pd to use UTF-8 as its internal encoding... turned out to be harder
than
I had thought, but (ever so slightly) easier than I had feared :-/

I wonder what the best approach is to getting it included. I also
think
its a very valuable contribution. I think we need to first get the
Tcl/Tk only changes done, since that was the mandate of the pd-devel
0.41 effort. Then once Miller has accepted those changes, then we
can
start with the C modifications there. So how to proceed next, I
think
is based on how eager you are, Bryan, to getting this in a regular
build.
One option is making a pd-devel-utf8 branch, another is posting these
patches to the patch tracker and waiting for Miller to make his next
update with the Pd-devel Tcl-Tk code.
Maybe we can get Miller to chime in on this topic.

modification.
well done!

moin folks,
I believe I've finally got pd-devel 0.41-4 using UTF-8 across the
board.
So far, I've tested message boxes & comments (g_rtext), as well as
symbol atoms, and all seems good. I think we can still expect
goofiness
if someone names an abstraction using a multibyte character when
the
filesystem isn't UTF-8 encoded (raw 8-bit works for me here too),
but I
really don't want to open that particular can of worms.
So I guess I have 2 questions:
(1) what should I call the generic UTF-8 source files? (see my
other
post)
(2) shall I commit these changes to pd-devel/0.41-4, or somewhere
else,
or just post a diff (ca. 33k, ought to be easier to read now;
I've tried
to follow the indentation conventions of the source files I
modified)?
marmosets,
Bryan
