- Hi, xperts!
- Could some kind soul explain how to deal with
- non-ascii fonts (like cyrillic, chinese, etc.)?
- After server knows about their existence (and
- they can be displayed by xfd) all I need is to
- generate a proper keycode (probably that should
- be done by Caps-locking, I mean that the program
- must check if Caps-lock was pressed) and print
- the character which is stored under the corresponding
- number. Can I do it on XView level, or should I
- use Xmu calls (XLookupCyrillic), as event_string()
- macro in XView relies on XLookupString() ?
-
- These questions may seem stupid for those who are
- experienced in various k/ch/m-term's, but I really
- don't know what to do.
-
- Many thanks for *any* help.
- Yuri

- PS. I'm trying to read the public discussions but
- would prefer direct e-answers/advices/suggestions.
