Re: Japanese Display for gtk+-1.2.9

[Xyber Blue <xyberblue gmail com>]

So does it mean that our X-server is capable of displaying japanese fonts???

When we tried to rename the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts from the FRV which
is accessing the host PCs dillo application using x-server of FRV,
dillo can display japanese fonts. So Mr Tor has a point that it is not
using the font accessing of our X-server target.

I am also suspecting the installation of gtk in our target. I already
installed gettext and it detects it. but still it can't display
japanese. 

I also found out in our config.cache file of cross compiled gtk package which contains
  _func_mmap_fixed_mapped=${ac_cv_func_mmap_fixed_mapped=no} 

While in PC side. this option was set to yes.  If you have any idea about this, does it affect gtk's font access??? 

About message catalog, gtk+.mo is found at our
$PREFIX/share/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES directory and also, gettext is
installed at the same prefix (PREFIX=/opt/gtk-dillo).

The X server is what directly controls the display in question.

I don't know what "dillo" is, but...

It uses GTK on the machine where it runs, i.e . the "host PC". If it
uses GTK 1.2, it uses server-side fonts only (i.e., fonts accessed by
the X server running on the "target"), as far as I know, but somebody
else should confirm this. Later GTK and Pango versions use client-side
fonts.

You renamed which X11R6 directory, the one on the "host PC" or the
"target"? If you renamed the X11R6 directory on the "host PC", X
client software like dillo won't find their shared libraries.

Hmm, "x-server library" doesn't really mean anything. If you mean the
X11 and GTK shared libraries (typically libX11.so, libgtk.so, etc),
then the dillo program uses the libraries from the same machine where
it runs. And the X server uses libraries on the machine where it
runs. The X server does not use many of libraries that X clients use,
especially not libX11.so, and of course no GTK libraries either.
