Dear Mac
I have try to compiler fltk 1.3 with my code. most chinese characters are
display well, and editing chinese works well. But it still has some problem. In
window label and menu label ,some chinese are still displayed in mess.
According to my experience, utf8 support chinese not good enough. Not only in
fltk,but also in some web pages and emails. So I decline to an old method in
china, that is , using ANSI coding, when encounter a byte that greater than
127, treat it as 2 byte character, but be careful, it need to match 2 byte
words analysising the whole line.
So,My proposal is , provid a code page option in fltk, so that app developer
can choice UTF8 or ANSI or other.
An other option is, in character processing , use std::_wstring instead of
char* .
