[PATCH] SDL_WM_SetCaption with UTF-8

SDL Development
1

Hello,

This patch enables UTF-8 suport for SDL_WM_SetCaption() in x11.

XFree86 >= 4.0.2 supports text strings in UTF-8. Presence of this
feature is indicated by the macro X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING.–

Do I miss something? Is there any other way how to enable unicode
characters in window caption?On Mon, 2004-06-28 at 23:15, Ivo Danihelka wrote:

I don’t think that there is.

It seems that for some obscure reason, X11 unicode support in SDL is frowned
upon.

A taboo of some sort.
