Hello,
just to confirm that cyrillic works fine now after git up; ./configure && make
yippee!
but i had to copy ./src/pd into ./bin ..
and typing object names is russian gives obj box which is not wide enough ..
hmm... that could also be a problem with the utf8 code which maps between logical character lengths and byte lengths... do you have an example patch or an example object name (utf-8 encoded preferably :-) which overflows its box?
There may be some potential hiccups with unicode combining diacritic characters (U+0300 - U+036F) -- afaik, these animals should never actually allocate any width for themselves, but rather attach to the most recent "normal" character. I seem to vaguely recall some fonts and/or renderers though which treat combining diacritics as "normal" characters (i.e. requiring their own width allocation). I believe I tried some combining diacritics in my utf-8 test patches (I see them a lot these days, most commonly U+0364 = "combining latin small letter e"), and seem to recall that Tk (8.5) rendered them correctly, but I may be misremembering...
may be using different font it would work ..
... which fonts are you using?
