Hello,
just to confirm that cyrillic works fine now after
git up; ./configure && make
yippee!
but i had to copy ./src/pd into ./bin ..
and typing object names is russian gives obj box which is not wide
enough ..
hmm... that could also be a problem with the utf8 code which maps
between logical character lengths and byte lengths... do you have an
example patch or an example object name (utf-8 encoded preferably :-)
which overflows its box?
There may be some potential hiccups with unicode combining diacritic
characters (U+0300 - U+036F) -- afaik, these animals should never
actually allocate any width for themselves, but rather attach to the
most recent "normal" character. I seem to vaguely recall some fonts
and/or renderers though which treat combining diacritics as "normal"
characters (i.e. requiring their own width allocation). I believe I
tried some combining diacritics in my utf-8 test patches (I see them a
lot these days, most commonly U+0364 = "combining latin small letter
e"), and seem to recall that Tk (8.5) rendered them correctly, but I
may
be misremembering...
may be using different font it would work ..
... which fonts are you using?
Ah fonts. The one to use on GNU/Linux is DejaVu Sans Mono. It should
have good unicode support too, since that's the aim of the DejaVu
project. Also, Tcl/Tk 8.5 is essential.
I'd like to see a patch in cyrillic also :)
