wxWindows again (gdk_text)

[Ove Kaaven <ovek arcticnet no>]

Okay, since I saw gtk+ 1.3.1 released, and don't like working with Windoze
NT Dorkstation just for its Unicode support, and hadn't managed to figure
out XFree86 4.0.1's UTF-8 support yet, I decided to grab that experimental
gtk+ and make wxWindows work with it, just to have more fun in Linux...
so I did that, but some problems came up...

I was amazed when I saw that I actually got Unicode in (single-line) text
controls (mapped to gtk_entry). Only problem is that the "eng" character
(Unicode 014B), which it seemed to grab from some serifed font, made the
text way too high up, so only the lower portion of the text was visible...
maybe I'll have to look into using a different default font...

But it didn't work so well for multi-line text controls (mapped to
gtk_text within a gtk_table), and when I look at the gtk_text source in
gtk+, it doesn't appear to be Pango-ized yet... is that planned so I just
have to wait, or is there more to it?

And wxDC::DrawText() doesn't draw Unicode right, but I suppose that just
means I'll have to Pango-ize wxDC too, once I figure out how...

(Of course, another problem is that scrolling a wxWindow doesn't seem to
work anymore, but I suspect that's off-topic for this list...)
