Awesome! If its big and complicated, I say post it to the list first, if not too bad, then just commit.

moin Hans, moin list,

I think perhaps I never actually did post the cleaned-up patch anywhere
(bad programmer, no biscuit);  I guess I'll check out
branches/pd-gui-rewrite/0.43 and try patching my changes in; then I can
either commit or just post the (updated) patch.  Hopefully no major
additional changes will be required, so it ought to go pretty fast.

Hey Bryan,

I'd like to try to get your UTF-8 code into pd-gui-rewrite. You mention
in this posting back in May that you had the whole thing working.  I
couldn't find the diff/patch for this. Is it posted anywhere? Do you want to try to check it in yourself directly to the pd-gui-rewrite/ 0.43
branch?

morning all,

Of course I never really like to see my code wither away in the bit
bucket, but I personally don't have any pressing need for UTF-8 symbols,
comments, etc. in Pd -- I'm a native English speaker, after all ;-)

Also, my changes are by no means the only way to do it (or even the best
way); we could gain a little speed by slapping on some more buffers
(mostly and possibly only in rtext_senditup()), but since this seems to effect only GUI/editing stuff, I think we can live with a smidgeon of
additional cpu time ... after all, it's all O(n) anyways.

Really I just wanted to see how easy (or difficult) it would be to get Pd to use UTF-8 as its internal encoding... turned out to be harder than
I had thought, but (ever so slightly) easier than I had feared :-/

I wonder what the best approach is to getting it included. I also think
its a very valuable contribution.  I think we need to first get the
Tcl/Tk only changes done, since that was the mandate of the pd- devel 0.41 effort. Then once Miller has accepted those changes, then we can start with the C modifications there. So how to proceed next, I think
is based on how eager you are, Bryan, to getting this in a regular
build.

One option is making a pd-devel-utf8 branch, another is posting these patches to the patch tracker and waiting for Miller to make his next
update with the Pd-devel Tcl-Tk code.

Maybe we can get Miller to chime in on this topic.

hey bryan,

just a quick note of a appreciation for getting this one out.. i hope

picked up in millers build soon.. a very useful and necessary
modification.

well done!

moin folks,

I believe I've finally got pd-devel 0.41-4 using UTF-8 across the
board.
So far, I've tested message boxes & comments (g_rtext), as well as
symbol atoms, and all seems good.  I think we can still expect
goofiness
if someone names an abstraction using a multibyte character when the
filesystem isn't UTF-8 encoded (raw 8-bit works for me here too),
but I
really don't want to open that particular can of worms.

So I guess I have 2 questions:

(1) what should I call the generic UTF-8 source files? (see my other
post)

(2) shall I commit these changes to pd-devel/0.41-4, or somewhere
else,
or just post a diff (ca. 33k, ought to be easier to read now; I've
tried
to follow the indentation conventions of the source files I modified)?

marmosets,
  Bryan
