[mgp-users 01277] Patch for GB2312 encoding and other things

[Chia Tee Kiah <chiateek@comp.nus.edu.sg>]

Good day all,

I have created a patch for MagicPoint 1.10a, to allow it to

- use TrueType fonts with GB2312-encoded characters, without going through
  xfs (the GB -> Unicode mapping in the patch is reportedly obsolete, but it
  works for now)
- handle multi-byte characters in which the high bit of each byte may be
  set; the high bit is simply cleared before further processing
- reduce the space required for the Unicode tables, by using "unsigned
  short" instead of "int"

The patch is rather large, so I have uploaded it instead of attaching it
here:

Any chance that the patch can be incorporated in the next version of
MagicPoint?

Thank you,
