"Root" preedit 8444 type is easy to implement but not useful; "OnTheSpot" 8445 preedit type is the best in the point of view of user 8446 interface but very complex. And more, "OverTheSpot" is the 8447 preedit type which the most XIM servers support. Thus, to 8448 achieve reasonable usability, support of "OverTheSpot" 8449 preedit type is needed.</li> 8450 8451 <li>In "OverTheSpot" preedit type, the preedit 8452 (preconversion) string is displayed at the position of the 8453 cursor. On the other hand, it is XIM server's 8454 responsibility to display the preedit string. Thus, it is 8455 needed for XIM client (here XTerm) to inform the XIM server 8456 of the cursor position. And more, to achieve good visual 8457 proportion, preedit string must be written using proper 8458 font. Thus, it is XIM client's responsibility to inform the 8459 XIM server of the proper font. The font must be supplied by 8460 "fontset". Fontset is a set of fonts with charsets which 8461 are specified by the current locale. Since XTerm uses 8462 ISO10646 fonts regardless of the current locale, the fonts 8463 for XIM must be prepared separately. It is difficult to 8464 prepare fonts which are similar to XTerm font. Thus, my 8465 patch uses a simple way - the default font is "*" which 8466 matches every fonts and X library will automatically choose 8467 fonts with proper charsets. I added "-fx" command option 8468 and "ximFont" resource to override this default font 8469 setting.</li> 8470 8471 <li>changed the definition of "OverTheSpot" preedit type 8472 from XIMPreeditPosition|XIMStatusArea to 8473 XIMPreeditPosition|XIMStatusNothing.

By calling 8477 XSetLocaleModifiers() with parameter of "", it can consier 8478 XMODIFIERS environmental variable which is a standard way 8479 for users to specify XIM server to be used.</li> 8480 </ul> 8481 </li> 8482 8483 <li>adjust configure script to accommodate repackaging of 8484 keysym2ucs.c as include-file for xutf8.c (patch by Tomohiro 8485 Kubota).</li> 8486 8487 <li>add the <code>UXTerm</code> app-defaults file to makefile 8488 install rules (request by Juliusz Chroboczek).</li> 8489 8490 <li>correct logic in <code>get_termcap()</code>, which returned 8491 false if the <code>tgetent()</code> call indicated that xterm 8492 was linked with terminfo.

The basic idea is to use a single set of APIs in 8524 the XTerm core, and put a set of workarounds in a separate 8525 file. As you will notice, this drastically simplifies parts of 8526 the code; in particular, the only remaining ifdefs related to 8527 the differences between Xutf8 and legacy systems are related to 8528 the selection provider logic. This defines two new files, 8529 xutf8.h and xutf8.c, provide some half-hearted but fully 8530 portable emulation for the three Xutf8* functions that XTerm 8531 uses. Putting these in a separate file will allow people to 8532 experiment with more complex versions without making the core 8533 of XTerm more difficult to maintain. The functionality of the 8534 emulation is as follows. 8535 8536 <ul> 8537 <li>Xutf8TextListToTextProperty fully handles XStringstyle 8538 and XUTF8StringStyle. It will only generate STRING for 8539 XStdICCTextStyle, and wil only generate Latin-1 in 8540 XCompoundTextStyle (but label it as COMPOUND_TEXT, as the 8541 spec requires). (I have hesitated to make this function 8542 fail for XStdICCTextStyle and XCompoundTextStyle; this 8543 might be a smart thing to do, in the hope that the 8544 selection requestor will try UTF8_STRING afterwards; 8545 opinions?)</li> 8546 8547 <li>Xutf8TextPropertyToTextList fully handles STRING and 8548 UTF8_STRING. It systematically fails for 8549 COMPOUND_TEXT.</li> 8550 8551 <li>Xutf8LookupString will properly handle single-keystroke 8552 input for the keysyms covered by Markus' keysym2ucs 8553 function.

There was 8592 little use for Foreground as a class other than to create 8593 occasional confusion and bug reports, most recently by Nelson 8594 Beebe who reports that it disables colors in xterm but not on 8595 Linux, which is probably due to a difference in resource 8596 evaluation order. A configure script option 8597 (--disable-color-class) is provided for anyone who did use the 8598 older behavior.</li> 8599 8600 <li>fix a signal-handling bug. When running xterm with 8601 <code>ksh</code> or similar shell such as bash 2.05, xterm will 8602 hang and not respond to keystrokes after the user types 8603 <code>suspend</code>. Additionally the popup menus do not 8604 respond, so it is not possible to send SIGCONT to the shell. 8605 What is happening is that the shell is sending itself SIGSTOP, 8606 and it is being stopped. Per specification it also means that 8607 the operating system is sending SIGCHLD to parent to the bash 8608 (XTERM). Now the issue is that xterm assumes it cannot happen 8609 and it expects to receive SIGCHLD only upon 8610 <em>termination</em> of its children. This causes a deadlock 8611 with xterm waiting for the child to die, and the child waiting 8612 for SIGCONT.

It is believed to follow the ICCCM + 8795 UTF8_STRING to the letter, both in UTF-8 and in eight-bit mode. 8796 From his description: 8797 8798 <ul> 8799 <li>When compiled against XFree86 4.0.2, the patched XTerm 8800 will make the selection available as COMPOUND_TEXT, STRING 8801 or UTF8_STRING in both modes.

However, due to an unexpected 8819 combination of ICCCM extensions by various bits and pieces 8820 of the libraries, interacting with previous versions of 8821 XTerm will work in many locales even without this flag. 8822 (Please do not set this resource to true by default, as 8823 this would violate the ICCCM.)</li> 8824 </ul> 8825 </li> 8826 8827 <li>improved error checking/reporting in VTInitI18N(), ensuring 8828 that lack of input method styles is treated distinctly from a 8829 mismatch.</li> 8830 8831 <li>remove an incorrect ifdef from patch #141 which suppressed 8832 overstriking to simulate bold font when xterm was compiled to 8833 support wide characters (report/analysis by Adam M Costello 8834 <amc@cs.berkeley.edu>, Debian #76404, Debian 8835 #77575).</li> 8836 8837 <li>modify <code>RequestResize()</code> function to 8838 save/restore window manager hints. Its call to 8839 <code>XtMakeResizeRequest()</code> had the undesirable 8840 side-effect of clearing window manager hints, e.g., when 8841 switching to 132-columns via DECCOLM escape sequence. Window 8842 manager hints make it simple to resize xterm in terms of 8843 character cells rather than pixels (reports by Christian 8844 Weisgerber, Debian #79939). 8845 8846 <p>This applies to the normal configuration.

The 11081 chief one implements fallback support for line drawing characters 11082 with fonts that do not include those characters. But I 11083 implemented that last.</p> 11084 11085 <ul> 11086 <li>If any of the glyphs in positions 0-31 (used by xterm to 11087 implement the VT100 alternate character set) are zero-sized 11088 (i.e., missing), xterm will reserve a normal space for the 11089 glyph when drawing. I implemented a simple stroke-drawing 11090 function to draw the line-drawing characters and a couple of 11091 the other (simpler) characters such as diamond. (This was 11092 suggested by Vikas Agnihotri).</li> 11093 11094 <li>Modify the computation of doublesize characters to work 11095 around font servers which shift the scaled characters up/down 11096 or do not give the correct width.</li> 11097 11098 <li>Add popup menu item and corresponding resource settings to 11099 disable the font-scaling logic for doublesize characters to 11100 work around (older) font servers which simply do not draw the 11101 fonts scaled to the size that they said they would. I see this 11102 problem on a SunOS system running X11R5; the X11R6 servers seem 11103 well behaved.</li> 11104 11105 <li>Implement new escape sequence, private mode 1049, which 11106 combines the switch to/from alternate screen mode with screen 11107 clearing and cursor save/restore. Unlike the existing escape 11108 sequence, this clears the alternate screen when switching to it 11109 rather than when switching to the normal screen, thus retaining 11110 the alternate screen contents for select/paste operations. 11111 11112 <p>When I implemented the popup menu entry to toggle between 11113 the normal and alternate screens, I considered only pasting 11114 from the normal screen to the alternate; this improvement 11115 allows either direction.</p> 11116 </li> 11117 11118 <li>Changed the termcap and terminfo for xterm-xfree86 and 11119 xterm-8bit to use the new 1049 private mode.</li> 11120 11121 <li>Modify the logic which switches between normal and 11122 alternate screens so that the save/restore cursor operations 11123 apply only to the current screen. That means that applications 11124 which use the terminfo smcur/rmcur or termcap ti/te 11125 capabilities will restore the cursor to the original position 11126 on the normal screen rather than to the most recent place where 11127 a save-cursor operation was performed. 11128 11129 <p>I note that a real VT100 terminal would not behave in this 11130 way, but it is a moot point since the VT100 does not 11131 implement alternate screen, and therefore the save/restore 11132 cursor sequence would not be used in this context. I reviewed 11133 the logic which switches between normal and alternate screens 11134 based on some recent newsgroup postings as well as a proposed 11135 patch in the Debian group which attempts to do this (the 11136 patch has a bug, however, so I did not use it).</p> 11137 </li> 11138 11139 <li>Add popup menu entry for toggling the titeInhibit 11140 resource.</li> 11141 11142 <li>Add new resource answerbackString, which overrides the 11143 default "xterm" returned by xterm when responding to an ENQ 11144 (control/E) character (request by Rajesh Vaidheeswarran 11145 <rv@fore.com>).</li> 11146 11147 <li>Add new resource keyboardDialect for setting the NRC 11148 display character set (request by Tomas Vanhala, who notes that 11149 I should add logic to translate the keyboard as well).</li> 11150 11151 <li>Add new command-line option and corresponding resources for 11152 making xterm generate escape sequences compatible with HP 11153 terminals. Like the existing Sun escape sequences, this is 11154 available as a popup menu item. It is enabled by the configure 11155 script with the option --enable-hp-fkeys (requested by Toni 11156 Mueller <sales@oeko.net>).</li> 11157 11158 <li>Add configure script option --disable-boxchars to disable 11159 the fallback support for line drawing characters.</li> 11160 11161 <li>Fix ifdef's for configure script --disable-ansi-color, and 11162 reviewed all configure options to ensure that all can be 11163 enabled/disabled appropriately.</li> 11164 11165 <li>Update config.guess and config.sub, from Lynx.</li> 11166 </ul> 11167 11168 <h1><a name="xterm_89" id="xterm_89">Patch #89 - 1998/11/20 - 11169 XFree86 3.9Nm</a></h1> 11170 11171 <p>This patch completes the implementation of double-sized 11172 character support for the VT100 emulation, and fixes a few minor 11173 bugs:</p> 11174 11175 <ul> 11176 <li>corrected the cursor position in HideCursor, which did not 11177 multiply the column by two when in doublesize mode.

Closing it ought to flush it.</li> 11535 11536 <li>adapt TOG fix-3 to in HandleKeymapChange and VTInitI18N 11537 (but adapt XtStackAlloc/XtStackFree for clarity, as well as 11538 fixing memory leak).</li> 11539 11540 <li>change calls on FillCurBackground to ClearCurBackground, in 11541 effect using XClearArea rather than XFillRectangle when 11542 clearing as a side-effect of scrolling and insertion (patch by 11543 Alexander V Lukyanov)</li> 11544 11545 <li>correct some places where insert/delete did not _move_ the 11546 color attributes, using memmove (patch by Alexander V Lukyanov 11547 <lav@long.yar.ru>)</li> 11548 11549 <li>add ifdef's for __CYGWIN32__, for port to cygnus version 11550 B19.1 (patch by Andrew Sumner 11551 <andrew_sumner@hotmail.com>).</li> 11552 11553 <li>remove #define for hpux that turned on USE_SYSV_ENVVARS, 11554 since this causes some applications (such as 'less') to get 11555 incorrect $LINES and $COLUMNS values (reported by Clint 11556 Olsen).</li> 11557 11558 <li>modify behavior for HP-UX, to set the "reserved" process 11559 group controls to _POSIX_VDISABLE so the TIOCSLTC ioctl does 11560 not produce an error (patch by Ben Yoshino 11561 <ben@wiliki.eng.hawaii.edu>).</li> 11562 11563 <li>correct length of underlining, reducing it by one pixel to 11564 avoid leaving a dot when the application does not clear the 11565 whole screen I noticed this only recently myself (and other 11566 people as well); it depends on the font chosen. A 6x10 font 11567 shows it, but the other fonts from XTerm.ad do not. I also see 11568 a similar problem with the emulation of bold fonts.

Following are his notes:</p> 11949 11950 <p>I poked around some more and finally got xterm-62 to build and 11951 run cleanly on HP-UX 10.20. Here are the patches. They look sort 11952 of ugly, so here's a little explanation:</p> 11953 11954 <ul> 11955 <li>aclocal.m4: Removed side effects from the AC_CACHE_VAL 11956 commands in CF_FUNC_TGETENT. Previously, LIBS was set inside 11957 AC_CACHE_VAL, which worked fine the first time configure was 11958 run, but failed if there were cached values.</li> 11959 11960 <li>aclocal.m4: Added temporary setting of LIBS before 11961 AC_TRY_LINK in CF_FUNC_TGETENT. Previously, the last value set 11962 by the AC_TRY_RUN loop was used, so only -lcurses was 11963 checked.</li> 11964 11965 <li>configure.in: Added temporary setting of CPPFLAGS before 11966 AC_CHECK_HEADERS for X11 files. Previously 11967 <X11/DECkeysym.h> and <X11/Xpoll.h> were found only 11968 if they were in the compiler's default include directories, 11969 even if `--x-includes=DIR' had been used or AC_PATH_XTRA had 11970 found them elsewhere.</li> 11971 </ul> 11972 11973 <p>The problem on HP-UX was that we were linking with -lcurses 11974 rather than -ltermcap due to the second bullet above, and 11975 apparently something in HP-UX curses is broken.
