Re: Japanese Display for gtk+-1.2.9

[Xyber Blue <xyberblue gmail com>]

Hello suzuki,

Thanks for your help, enabling -DX_LOCALE in our gtk installation
enables gtk to display japanese on its widgets. I found out also that
when doing cross compiling gtk-1.2, it disables X_LOCALE, so enabling
it to the configure file is what I did. Since it can paste japanese
text on gtk text entry widget, gtk buttons also can also display
japanese text. Your ideas are really big help into this problem. Thank
you.

The only problem we've got here is that it will not convert english
text to japanese text like what we see at the testfont selector.

Currently, we found out that our system doesn't have gettext. Is there
any relation between the conversion of english text to japanese text on
its widgets and the GNU gettext???

In strace output, X11 reads its locale database for C:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/C/XLC_LOCALE, instead of
that for ja_JP: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/ja/XLC_LOCALE.
So there's no possibility of X11 to handle Japanese
correctly.
