Summary: [PATCH] To display Thai characters in xkbprint
Product: xorg
Version: CVS_head
Platform: PC
URL: http://linux.thai.net/~poonlap/code/xkbprint_thai.patch
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Keywords: i18n
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: * Other
AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise@freedesktop.org
ReportedBy: poonlap@linux.thai.net
When using xkbprint to print keyboard layout with symbols, it will use keysym
name to display. Because the space on a key is limited, the symbol names will
display uglily and this is not so useful, for example
http://linux.thai.net/~poonlap/images/xkbprint_traditional.pdf
I would like to propose a patch to display characters (in my case is Thai)
instead of symbol names. It is more useful for a user, for example (the same
layout with patch)
http://linux.thai.net/~poonlap/images/tis-820.2538.pdf
My patch is located at
http://linux.thai.net/~poonlap/code/xkbprint_thai.patch
It includes Thai pfa font (GPL license), and code to detect if the layout
includes Thai or not. If there is a Thai keyboard defined, it will setup font
and display Thai characters. If there is no Thai keyboard, it will not set
anything about Thai displaying.
I think this approach is useful for other languages also.
