It would be much easier to incrementally turn small pieces of code to wide characters and convert on boundaries to Ascii. Sure that those boundaries look ugly and total effort is higher that with one-time conversion, but it is easier to start. I could write all new code with wide characters. > RV> I hear that not all wxWindows ports support wide characters > > No, for example GTK1 port doesn't (GTK2 does).

If you manage to pass correct encoding along the way (presumably it cannot be detected automatically), localized text will survive too even on non-Unicode platforms. We would both use wide characters and set correct encoding. Encoding would be ignored on platforms with wide characters. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Mahogany-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mahogany-developers
