[Bf-committers] International Input

[Yaohua Xiong]

Hi,

Is it possible to add IM(IME on windows, XIM on linux, and whatever on
Mac:-)) support to blender with moderate effort? I'd like to give that
a shot.

If I understand right, Blender use utf8 internally for it's string
like object name, filename etc. What I need to do is add handler for
specific window system message in Ghost?
