IIRC, Cygnus version (I mean, before guile 1.0) had a feature of handling multibyte text (convert it wide char text), and I've tested the feature for Japanese text. But I don't used it, as it's not well implemented. I think that cleaning up is fair. Wwe have the design guide written by Jim Blandy, we could implement along that way. -- _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
