Issue 154: add support for UTF-8 locale in NamedWindows and DynamicLog http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=154 Comment #2 by r...@ro-che.info: <> You're right, I didn't see it. It would be indeed a more simple solution. I missed it because it's possible only in case of tabbed and generally reflecting is _not_ the proper tool to place decorations at bottom. I just was thinking too generally. Thank you for the note. Now, about locale support. Maybe I missed something (once again :), but I don't understand you when it you're talking about iconv library. Why should window manager ever convert user's data (text) from one encoding to another? Why should it care whether user's locale is UTF-8 or not? (Yeah, I agree with Tuomo here, just because full locale support seems to me not just proper, but simple solution!) As I said in IRC, I am not familiar with Xft yet. But if we're talking about X11 itself, it provides full locale support for free! Just call setlocale, use Xmb* function (why convert strings to wc?) and get it! Why should we ignore it and hurt users who wish to use alternative locales? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
