I am wondering how much of this behavior depends on display (and the availability of a display with fontsets, etc). > For emacs-mule encoding, I don't see a different > behaviour. > > > Since this is definitely the way to go (this is, handling > the legacy > emacs-mule encoding within emacs 23) I'll ask on the > emacs-devel > mailing list if I find some time, which is currently not > the case, > unfortunately.

I have moved on a bit since the last time I wrote. I have switched over to use get-text-property. That seems to be better and more consistent than char-charset. char-charset in emacs 23 can return different things based on priority - that's frustrating - I wonder if there is a "compatibility mode". At the moment the difficulties are two folds: The string returned by get-test-property is not exactly the same as char-charset - e.g. 'tis620-2533' vs 'thai-tis620', and 'nil' for ascii region instead of 'ascii'. The other thing is, there seems to be some buffer confusion and once in a while things switch to a different buffer, and/or the buffer pointer got winded back. Perhaps I could ask: how often does the code backtrack in the input buffer scan? It certain does in the Thai part. It is easier to deal with skipping over a chunk of input than it backtracking over and over :-(. _______________________________________________ Cjk maillist - Cjk@ffii.org https://lists.ffii.org/mailman/listinfo/cjk
