However, I am puzzled by John's response: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=9527943forum_id=44504 John appears to be saying that his version of SDL is required. If that is so, I can't package it for Debian. However, if a Russian user would like to try tuxpaint from CVS (see http://sf.net/projects/tuxpaint) to see if it is any better with the latest SDL in Debian, I would appreciate the help. I've just tried CVS tuxpaint on the Sarge and Etch systems. I see the behaviour changed. Every time I type a Russian letter, I see a new letter on the screen, but it is not the Russian letter. It is ISO-8859-1 letter corresponding to the first byte of the unicode value. I guess CVS tuxpaint should break ISO-8859-1 (non-ascii) users as well, but I hope it is a step into the right direction :-) -- Regards, Sasha. Alexandra N.

Alexandra, Thanks for testing. On Sat, 2006-02-04 at 00:17 +0300, Alexandra N. Kossovsky wrote: I've just tried CVS tuxpaint on the Sarge and Etch systems. I see the behaviour changed.

I guess CVS tuxpaint should break ISO-8859-1 (non-ascii) users as well, but I hope it is a step into the right direction :-) John got back to me about this on the tuxpaint-devel list and said the following: What version of SDL did you test this with? There is partial Unicode support on X with the SDL-1.2.9 release. There was a problem with Tux Paint, and there is/was a problem with SDL. The SDL Windows backend is fixed in CVS: https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39 The SDL X11 backend currently only has partial unicode support. I'm helping work on it: https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130 Here is a picture of Tux Paint in Russian on X, with the above patch (although this should mostly work with the SDL 1.2.9 Release version): http://www.johnnypops.demon.co.uk/tp-russian.png Does this look more like what we are after? Any help testing would be great. If you want a working text-tool you need Tux Paint from CVS, and SDL from CVS with the above patch (bug 130) if you are on X. With help from Sam Lantinga (Mr. SDL), there is a good chance of the next release of SDL-1.2.X having all this working, -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Yes, it these are very nice Russian letters. The only problem I see is squares in the right manu, in place of some Aa. -- Regards, Sasha. Alexandra N.

I'm afraid I can't help with a patch. Thank you for the program! Thanks for the help. I will work with upstream on implementing this. When we are done, may I call upon this list for help with testing? Regards, Ben -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
