Description Havoc Pennington 2002-03-09 21:52:38 UTC 
This is a reasonably involved task. zvt for GNOME 1.x had a fairly
low-quality patch for multibyte support, and there is some sort of 
totally untested UTF-8 support in there.

One broken thing about the patch for 1.x is that it assumed that all
multibyte chars were 2 bytes. Should use mblen() instead.

The i18n terminal can be written using either locale encoding, or 
using Unicode in all cases.

Current zvt only allows 16 bits of Unicode chars which isn't enough, 
we should expand it to allow more.

Another part of this is ensuring input methods work and font sets are
used (or Xft). Input methods were working in 1.x.
Comment 2 Kjartan Maraas 2005-01-05 12:42:45 UTC 
Closing this as it has been fixed in vte mostly.
