Title: Rc9: X430 Compiled Without Valid Define For Cjk.
Post by: radon88 on February 16, 2005, 02:06:28 am

Hi,

I'm digging for displaying korean characters in xterm.

I found some weird things in X430 compilation in RC9.

XChar2b in zaurus is  4bytes long not 2bytes.

( see X11/Xlib.h, it's just a struct of 2 unsigned char.

 in x86 systems, it is 2bytes-long).

And compiling X430 without defining MUSTCOPY or MUSTCOPY2B,

 it makes trouble in diplaying non 1byte-characters(CJK or non-european world).)

see (X430SRC)/xc/lib/X11/Text16.c

Code: [Select]

int
XDrawString16
...
{
    ...
#if defined (MUSTCOPY) || defined(MUSTCOPY2B)
       // safe copy code for arm
#else
      // troublesome memcpy
      // it assume that XChar2b is 2bytes-long
      memcpy((char*) ..., (char*)..., 254 * 2);  
#endif
}

I patched my xterm code to work around with current situations.

And it displays korean characters correctly.

But I think it's the problem of compiling Xlibraries and with correct define will solve this problem

without inefficient workaround client patches.

And it should not harm 1byte-world people.(european characters world?)

Please compiling  X430 with defining MUSTCOPY or MUSTCOPY2B in RC10.

Am I wrong?  

PS.

I googled same problem: here (http://xfree86.desiato.de/xfree86/pipermail/xpert/2001-January/005310.html)

Hello guys.
First of all, thanks alot for this marvelous developing job!!

I'm Japanese. And I'm facing same problem on 1.1.0beta1.
I couldn't display Japanese characters correctly.

I also beg you to define above.

Best regards.

You can use gtk2 terminals such as gtkterm or gnome-terminal. Take a look at this thread https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=16217 (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=16217).
