Subject: Minimal support for non-English character sets in ACL app

Date: 1997-1-14 16:28

How can I ensure minimal support for non-English character set input and output 
in ACL 3.0.1?  I've checked the FAQ, and nothing is listed there.

My needs are quite simple:  my application has some text edit boxes, and I'd 
like users to be able to enter text in their native language.  I also need to 
display this text on the screen (probably using draw-string-in-box) and to 
print it to their printer.

Since my application is used all over the world, I'd like to ensure that my 
application works with as many character sets as possible.  Definitely I need 
it to work with Chinese, Japanese, Russian, French, German, Spanish, and 
Italian.

I will post a summary of responses to the list.

Thanks,
