Subject: Re: mails with charset iso-8859-2 From: Brent Welch Date: Wed, 02 Aug 2000 22:30:07 -0700 To: Eric Pop The settings above essentially map iso8859-2 into iso8859-1 The "encoding" becomes that trailing -X in the font name. So, this'll work for the ascii half of the -2 encoding map, but do something odd with the hebrew half (I think that's it), mapping that into latin accented characters! There is a wonderful utf-8 font that would solve our problems, but I've just been reminded that Tk is not able to use it due to a bug. If anyone is inspired to delve into the Tk font machinery to see why it refuses to open the iso646-1 fonts, please let me know.
Note said bug has been fixed, and Tcl/Tk 8.4 does a fine job with the iso646-1 (Unicode) fonts.
To specify a font for Unicode display, take a look at Changing the Unicode message display font.
