As russian user of tk toolkit, I feel much concern about i18n issues of tk. In my homepage [L1 ] there's a couple of my patches, that make tk more i18n-aware (e.g. in $canvas postscript output). I'm going to keep my page up-to-date, so any non-ascii-non-latin1 user can always find there nessesary fixes, both for cvs head and for last stable version.
Current i18n status/problems I know about:
- $canvas postscript is not unicode-aware. Patches: for 8.4 cvs head -- take patch #546910 [L2 ] here. For 8.3 stable versions, you can get it at [L3 ]
- Tk_DrawChars on Unix is broken in 8.4 cvs head. Patch #559437 addresses this problem.
- Standard tk file dialog binds, for example, Alt-C to Cancel, Alt-O to Open... But button labels may be translated! Now i work on the solution which will automatically select best char in label to be underlined, and processes <Alt-Key> events for particular dialog or message box (a propos, message boxes cannot bind non-ascii accelerator keys at all, but they try, alas!).
