Hans,


Just an update to the chat on IRC,


The message pack in Japanese worked right out of the box.

Here's a screen shot.

OT,

Unfortunately there are very few non-proprietary Japanese fonts that an 
average user considers reasonably beautiful, which I imagine users of 
other Asian charsets may relate to. What individuals configure for their 
desktop is often where they've settled after a trial and error figuring 
what suites them best and would be nice to see them in tk menus as well.


The following quoted from
http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TkCmd/font.htm#M41

---- Begin quote ----

X Windows
     All valid X font names, including those listed by xlsfonts(1), are 
available.

MS Windows
     The following fonts are supported, and are mapped to the user's 
style defaults.


Mac OS X
     The following fonts are supported, and are mapped to the user's 
style defaults.


---- End quote ----


I wonder how difficult it is, or what may break if tk uses system 
default styles for X, or is it a concept unique to Gnome?


Just a something I would like to add to the veeeeeery bottom of the wish 
list.
