Hi, my name is Andrés Domínguez and I'm a new links mailing
list member.

I'm interested in add Japanese support to links2. On Sun Dec 21
BC Sittler posted about CJK support. What's the actual CJK
status?

I want to modify the font renderer to draw with external bitmap-font
files in graphical mode. I think hiragana and katakana (about 100
symbols) can be draw like the usual way. I have seen that hiragana
and katakana in UTF-8 are not complete. Test here:

http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/block/hiragana/utf8test.htm
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/block/katakana/utf8test.htm

I have read a few lines of source code and i have a question:

struct letter{

	int begin; /* Begin in the byte stream */

	int length; /* Length (in bytes) of the PNG data in the byte stream */

	int code; /* Unicode code of the character */

	int xsize;

	int ysize;

	void *foo;

	void *bar;

};

inline static int print_letter(struct graphics_driver *gd, struct

	graphics_device *device, int x, int y, struct style *style,

	int char_number)

Are "int code" and "int char_number" UTF-8 or UCS-2 codes?

Advices are welcome.

I hope that this is also Links2 mailing list. Sorry for my
English.
