I'm sorry for my poor description.
Perhaps you can not understand what I mean.
The trouble is that I can't draw text by using the drawing function for
*wide* caracters, 'XwcDrawString()'.
I can draw text by using the drawing function for *multi-bytes*
characters, 'XmbDrawString()'.
Of course, I add 'lt_LN.ISO_8859-1'as an alias data to the locale
database file of X, '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias'.
The locale database of XFree86 ,exactly X Consortium,
hopes that it is the EUC code for ISO 8859-1.
That is :
$ cat XF86312E/xc/nls/X11/locale/XLC_LOCALE/iso8859-1
XCOMM $XConsortium: iso8859-1,v 1.3 94/01/22 14:06:36 rws Exp $

END XLC_XLOCALE
Of course, I know that it does not need to use X{mb|wc}DrawString()
and that it does not need to handle text as wide characters because
we can draw text of ISO 8859-1 charactor set by using XDrawString().
I'm developping some applications which run in the multi-lingual
environment.
I use the EUC code as all charactor code for handling all
languages in common with Japanese. So I use XwcDrawString().
The X locale Database of X Consortium is a sample all right, but
I guess that it is the general implementation of the operating
system that using wide characters as EUC code in ISO 8859-1.
Is my idea wrong ? Please advice me.
Thank you in advance,
