Gtk+ Utf-8/chinese Problem?
« on: January 02, 2006, 11:28:27 am »
problem:
can't see chinese(in utf-8) content and filename in gtk applications (xmms)

but can see them properly in qt applications (justreader) and gtk2 (gvim)

environment:
SL6000L, running pdaxrom 1.1.0beta1,
installed firefly ttf font(utf-8), and firefly(iso10646), taipei(big5) pcf font
installed locale: glibc-locale-zh-hk.utf-8, glibc-locale-zh-tw.utf-8
LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=zh_TW.UTF-8
.gtkrc: set to firefly iso10646 font

detail description:
I think it's a gtk problem, since when I was using xmms playlist to add song, the chinese utf-8 filename can't display properly. Although i still can add those files into playlist, the playlist also can't display them correctly.

I've tried to set .gtkrc and xmms to use iso10646 and big5 font, no luck!
However when using JustReader2, which is a QT apps, with setting to use the utf-8 ttf font, i can browse the chinese file (utf-8), and can read the content (ebook, big5). I've also succeed to browse the chinese file in KDE using the default file manager.

So is it a GTK+ problem? Any workaround?
Or is there any QT based mp3 player?

It seems you didn't install the Chinese locale from the feed. Have you done this?

The two variables should be
Code: [Select]
LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=zh_TW.UTF-8not utf-8, it's case-sensitive.

Try the following and see if it works
Code: [Select]
LC_ALL=zh_TW.UTF-8
LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8

XMMS is a gtk 1.2 application (not GTK 2.0). GTK 1.2 don't use TTF.

You need to install Chinese pcf fonts and select the font in the preference of XMMS in order to display the Chinese characters.

yes, I did. I have installed chinese and utf-8 pcf fonts, but it just didn't work.
the "browse file" widget can't show the utf-8 filename properly, i think it's not related to xmms but gtk+1.2.

I think GTK2 applications work find with utf-8 encoding & truetype font.
So is there any GTK2 based mp3 player for Z?

i just can find one, but not yet port to Z...

Where are your files stored? on a fat partition?

maybe this partition should be remounted with iocharset=utf8?

It may not be possible to port it to pdaX for now, as it has very high requirement such as kernel > 2.6 and GTK+ > 2.8

That's why I have to compiled quite a number of GTK2 apps for my own use.

I'm now finding gtk2 or qt based mp3 player for Z, any suggestion?

I tried to compile beep-media-player (Gtk2 XMMS like player).

However, it don't use integer based decoder (MAD and tremor to decode MP3 and OGG).

There are plugin for XMMS to use MAD and termor. However, I can't find one. After googling, it seems that there are MAD plugin for beep-media-player but I can't find the project website and the source code. Anyone know how to get it?  Thanks.
