Well, I should have expected this kind of disaster sooner. See ? All I can
do is 'beavering'(I like this word very much!), and I have to do another
'beavering' to solve this problem. My suggestion is to make all the
changes "XDrawString->XmbDrawString" conditional. For example, I define a
boolean variable, as
"extern bool use_fontset"
and then define
"char * loc = setlocale(LC_CTYPE,NULL);
if (!loc || !strcmp(loc,"C") || !strcmp(loc,"POSIX") ||
!XSupportLocale()){
use_fontset = True;
} else {
use_fontset = False;
} "
Then, make
"if(use_fontset) {
XmbDrawString, XfontSet,...
} else {
original XDrawString, XFontStruct,...
} "
By doing this, machines with non-CJK environment do not have to load the
XFontSet which cause the slowness problem. Now my question is, "Does this
strategy work as intended ?" If yes, then how can I implement this
strategy ? I cannot even make "if(use_fontset)" correctly recognized
(Poor me!) Can you help ?
