Hi all, one man reported problem that vncviewer doesn't show Russian letters (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=501832).
After quick inspection main problem is that libX11 text routines (mainly XDrawString) doesn't support UTF-8. I think the best solution will be enable internationalization only when charset is ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-2. So code like lang = nl_langinfo(CODESET); if (!strcasecmp(lang, "ISO-8859-1")) internationalize; will handle it. Question is if we would like to want to drop I18N at all on UN*X platforms because if we would like to support it we have to rewrite vncviewer to use QT/GTK. It means end of light-weight viewer. Do you have any ideas how better deal with this?
