[Bf-committers] XIM improvement (non-latin support + connection recovery)

[Tamito KAJIYAMA]

Irie-san,

The XIM support works fine on Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64 (running on VirtualBox
4.1.8) together with its default ibus input method framework.  Only Japanese
text editing was tested using Anthy.  The text editor can create UTF-8 encoded
text files as expected.

A few issues were observed with the patched Blender as documented below:

1. When Blender is terminated, the following error message shows up on
console.  The serial numbers vary every time the program quits.

> X Error of failed request:  BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
>   Major opcode of failed request:  14 (X_GetGeometry)
>   Resource id in failed request:  0x4e00004
>   Serial number of failed request:  2267
>   Current serial number in output stream:  2267

2. Japanese characters are not displayed properly.  They appear as blank
rectangles instead of glyphs.  This issue seems due to some missing setting
related to fonts and not an issue of the patch.  Anyway, did you need a
specific font setting in your test environment?

Thanks,

Hi,

I just posted a patch that improves utf8 input on X11:

http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=30274&group_id=9&atid=127

Now I can input Japanese/Chinese in the text boxes :)

Can anyone test it?
