nanogui: Thread: [announce] multibyte-ttf 0.5 beta is out.

I caught the last leak on the convert code.
And now supports GCC 3.0 compiler.
This is the first beta release.

 From now on, we will do some optimization for speed. ;)
Finally I've opened a ftp site for download

ftp://tux.fdns.net/pub/Microwindows/multibyte_ttf/
you will get the latest version here.

Thanks,

Sang Baek

Sang Baek Lee,
    I have been looking at your multibyte enhancement for Microwindows
and would like to include it in 0.89pre8, which I am now ready to release.
There are a few issues however, that I would like to change before
including this code:

1. The conversion function is written in C++, which requires that basic
Microwindows would require C++, rather than C.  I can't add two functions
into Microwindows for this reason, so the routines need to be converted to C.
There are quite a few embedded C libraries that don't yet support C++.

2. There are many cases where a strncmp() function on "EUCKR" or 
other charset types is performed.  This is slow, and will add to the text
string output slowness.  Can these strncmp() compares be converted to
use the MWTF_EUCKR for a binary comparison instead?

If you would like, I can perform the above conversions.  Or you may
already have additional modifications.  Let me know, as I would like to 
add your code to the Microwindows release.

Also, I would like to allow the new additional MWTF_xxx encoding
types to be used with the GrText calls directly, so that conversion is
not required.  Is this currently supported?

Regards,

Greg

Oh, I know that Microwindows is written in C, and I thought I've wrote 
my code in C.
Can you please point out where I've used C++ code?

Oh, I got the point. In fact this convert code was not made for 
Microwindows.
It was made for my own job. ;) I'll make this use MWTF_EUCKR instead of 
strncpy.
(I was going to ask you for this problem. ;-) )

Nop, not yet. but I'll do it as fast as I can.
