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)
I don't quite follow... do you mean there are separate .c files for the UTF-8 code? I guess I am not sure which post you mean.
(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)?
If there are major changes to the C code, we'll have to run that by Miller. He's already more or less accepted the existing pd-devel Tcl code, so he might be willing to accept these C changes as well. I think its really important work, especially since Pd-devel also has localized menus and text.
If you have the diff, maybe post it here and let's start there.
