charset translation in xdosemu

[ivan <pivo@pobox.sk>]

Hi,

I got dosemu working with character translation cp895->iso8859-2 and it
successfuly runs using utf8 xterm and luit -encoding iso-8859-2 dosemu .
But, it dos not work in xdosemu. Is translation not implemented for xdosemu?

Using dosemu-1.3.1 and following .dosemurc

$_X_font = "terminus-iso8859-2-24"
$_term_char_set = "ibm"
$_external_char_set = "iso8859-2"
$_internal_char_set = "cp895"

Well, it works with a cp895 font. I'm just being curious about the translation.

I also tried compiling plugin/translation and setting external_char_set to utf8
and run it without luit under utf8 xterm, but all I got was a screen full of
at-signs.

Also, would it be hard to implement iso-10646, so that xdosemu could use the
same font as the rest of apps in X? I know nothing about Xlib or fontconfig or
whatever it involves. I might leran though.
