Is it always recognized? For example, I specifically built my glibc only include support for certain locales. "locale -a" on my system outputs: C POSIX en_US en_US.utf8 et_EE Although, all of et_EE.UTF-8, en_US.UTF-8 and en_US.utf8 do work without giving a "locale not supported" warning. However, en_US.utf8.UTF-8 does not work. Not sure how programmatically "adding UTF-8" would work, and if this poses a problem related to the fact that I can't do LC_ALL=en_US.utf8.UTF-8 ./minimal but I can do LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 ./minimal Also, I'm not sure if just adding utf-8 to the locale works with all libc implementations. > MR> Is there any other reason to use wxFontMapper? > > Well, under wxGTK2 which always supports UTF-8, no. wxFontMapper is mostly > useful on non-Unicode systems (which were almost of them when Mahogany was > started...). Great that it should work now at least for some systems! Hopefully back-porting so quickly, while already having a release candidate, won't pose a problem. I'm holding my back-ports for post 2.6.3, having unfortunately missed the deadline. wxFontMapper backport should probably be fine, as it didn't work at all before. -- With regards, Mart Raudsepp Project manager of wxMUD E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wxmud.sourceforge.net/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
