In regards to a working TuxType2 CVS build, I have one, well, kind-of. I get an SDL parachute when first starting up TT2. I narrowed the error down to a null pointer in alphabet.c:
[snip]
SDL_Surface* black_outline(unsigned char *t, TTF_Font *font, SDL_Color c) {
SDL_Surface *out, *tmp, *tmp2;
SDL_Rect dstrect;
Uint32 *p[10];
int x,y,z;
int shift;
/* --- create the blocky black "outline" of the text --- */
tmp = TTF_RenderText_Solid(font, t, black);
/* My code starts here */
if (! tmp)
{
fprintf ( stderr, "RenderText failed: %s\n", TTF_GetError ());
exit (1);
}
[snip]I looked a little farther into the SDL_ttf code, to no avail. I'm guessing it's a problem with my installation of RedHat SDL and the SDL_ttf RPM from libsdl.org. (I did happen to see a disclaimer about this on that site.)
Any thoughts? As soon as I can start playing with TT2 then I can start looking at the asian language support.

Has anyone looked into supporting languages which don't have a one-to-one key to character mapping? The two languages I'm most familiar with are Japanese and Chinese, both of which require at least two key hits to enter a single phonetic character.

We would LOVE to support this! If you have a system setup so you could do testing for us (prefer linux) that would be great.
Mainly it will be figuring out how SDL works with the input.
