Central European/Cyrillic display support for Carbon Emacs

Central European/Cyrillic display support for Carbon Emacs

[YAMAMOTO Mitsuharu]

Recently, display support of Central European and Cyrillic characters
for Carbon Emacs (without ETL fonts) is added to CVS.  These
characters are supposed to be displayed by one of the followings.

  1. Using a predefined fontset "fontset-mac".
     (set-frame-font "fontset-mac")

  2. Creating a fontset from a Mac Roman font.
     (set-frame-font
      (create-fontset-from-mac-roman-font
       "-apple-lucida sans typewriter-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-120-mac-roman")

  3. Extending an existing fontset.
     (set-frame-font
       (fontset-add-mac-fonts "SOME-EXISTING-FONTSET"))

You can test it with `C-h h' or `M-x list-charset-chars RET
cyrillic-iso8859-5 RET'.

Steven Tamm and I have exchanged emails about this feature, but these
characters are not displayed in his environment.  We could not figure
out what's the difference, so I would like to ask Carbon Emacs users
to test whether this feature works or not.  Please use -Q option
(e.g., `/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q' from
Terminal.app) when invoking, and include the OS version together with
the primary language you chose when installing Mac OS X.

In the past you also posted some "small diffs" for Carbon emacs. Which of
these are still relevant?

As for the ones I posted with the subject "Small patches for Mac OS
X", the latest CVS contains all of them.

This works for me.

I don't have that font, but substituting Monaco works.

Didn't try that.

I have Mac OS X 10.3.6, English version.

Thanks a lot for this!  Being able to read both Latin-1 and Cyrillic
letters, instead of just seeing hollow boxes, is very nice.

Thanks for the report.  We have 2 positive and 0 negative answers so
far.  Anyone else who does not see these characters displayed?

I think I should have used "mac-centraleurroman" rather than
"mac-centraleuropean" for the registry name.
(cf. http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Conceptual/ProgWithTECM/tecmgr_encnames/chapter_4_section_4.html)
The attached patch is for this change.  Also, it contains a small
device that makes font search much faster.  (You will see the
difference with C-h h).
