49605 | 54 * Make the Lucid menu widget display multilingual text. [This |
55 probably needs to be done from actual Emacs buffers, either directly | |
56 in the menu or by rendering in an unmapped window and copying the | |
57 pixels. Note that the relevant Xlib functions assume a specific | |
58 locale; that isn't good enough even if X can render the arbitrary | |
51647 | 59 text, which it often can't as far as I can tell. -- fx] [The gtk |
60 port now displays multilingual text in menus, but only insofar as | |
61 Emacs can encode it as utf-8 and gtk can display the result.] | |
