What exactly Redhat 7.3 (XFree86 4.2, KDE 3.0, QT 3) functions use to = display a string in the screen ? I know that Xft have 4 functions : XftDrawString8(), = XftDrawString16(), XftDrawString32(), XftDrawStringUft8() to display a = string. And if the system uses Xft , it will call these functions. I tried to = override all 4 functions . Compile OK but it can not work in my system. = Maybe because of my poor programming skill in C or I must tried some = Xlib functions 2. According to Xft document, it uses Unicode encoding for input string = in Xft displaying functions, But it doesn't tell exactly what encoding ? = : Uft8, Xchar2b, UCS2, UCS4 ( 16 or 32 bits ) 3.
