Re: Thai script in Pango

[Chookij Vanatham <chookij vanatham eng sun com>]

Hi,

Forget to say what I changed.

Change from tis620.2533-1 to tis620.2533-0
Change from tis620.2529-1 to tis620.2533-0

Not quite sure if I do need to do thing with ICONV as well...

] Hello,
] 
] I downloaded Pango last month and tried it on Solaris 8.
] Under en_US.UTF-8 locale, I added some Thai characters (UTF-8) to
] the testtext.c and recompiled it and ran it again and found out
] that gtk+-1.3.1/gtk/testtext cann't display Thai characters.
] 
] I'm trying to fix the problem and here is what I found.
] 
] In Thai Pango engine at pango-0.12/modules/thai/thai.c, there is
] the variable name "charset" which is problably used with the fontname.
] This "charset" for Thai isn't the same as we use in Solaris as shown below.

]     THAI_FONT_TIS,
]     THAI_FONT_ISO10646
]   };
] 
]   ....
]   
] }
] 
] In Solaris, Thai font name is something as shown below.
] -bigelow-lucidaz-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-tis620.2533-0
] 
] So, I did changed it and recompiled and installed it but
] Thai script isn't still able to be displayed yet.
] 
] If anyone knows or suggests me how to fix this, it would be
] really helpfull. I'm just started playing with Pango... :)
