Re: [Freedos-user] DBCS question about dosbox-x
Hello Eric Auer, Hi! I read on https://dosbox-x.com/release-0.83.15.html that DOSBOX-X now supports DBCS for CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) languages. Do you happen to know how they do that? Would it be feasible to port their changes into the I looked a bit at the Git commits for dosbox-x (https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/). It seems many of the recent changes have to do with special handling of double-byte characters in short file names when DBCS is active. E.g. if an 0xa4 byte (= `n tilde' in CP437) starts a double-byte sequence, then it is not considered a small letter to be "capitalized" (to 0xa5); and if a 0x5c byte (CP437 backslash) appears as the second byte of a double-byte sequence, then it is not considered a path separator; etc. There are probably also other relevant changes in the source code.

Re: [Freedos-user] DBCS question about dosbox-x
I use DOSBOX-X and you can notice they use completely different fonts and GUI. I think they use native Windows API, because the text looks like anti-aliased native app using HiDPI. Therefore this is something completely separate from DOS and it is Windows based font rendering feature. But that is just my quick guess from what I see when I see it.

Re: [Freedos-user] DBCS question about dosbox-x
Whatever you decide if it means additional overhead on kernel (very likely) it would be good idea to separate "CJK-enabled" and "non-CJK" kernels, since this is very specific ability, not useful for everyone -- regards, Zbigniew ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
[Freedos-user] DBCS question about dosbox-x
Hi! I read on https://dosbox-x.com/release-0.83.15.html that DOSBOX-X now supports DBCS for CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) languages. Do you happen to know how they do that? Would it be feasible to port their changes into the FreeDOS kernel? Of course one would also need the separate tools for graphical font handling and keyboard input methods, so the main question is which licenses all of those have?
