[Pslib-list] pslib and iso-8859-2

[Alicja i A. D. <mik...@vp...>]

Hello,
I subscribed pslib-list on lists.sourceforge.net and sent the following
letter there. But I haven't received a copy of my letter from
lists.sourceforge.net and I don't know if you received it.
=46or this reason, I'm sending my letter again.

I want to use pslib in my program.
Text should be displayed in rectangular fields. I have to know the
number of all the characters that won't fit the field. I don't want
to use PS_symbol function but PS_show_boxed. So I use PS_show_boxed
function, but there is a problem with ISO-8859-2 encoding.
In Polish language there are 9 small and 9 capital letters and normal
English alphabet.
So, I replaced 'font encoding vector' and 'input encoding vector' with
ISO-8859-2 (in an easy way) according to (~100kB)
http://republika.pl/frankenstein7/debian/biblioteka_pslib/list_do_pslib=
=2Etar.gz
file.
I realise this is not a smart solution, however it works for all Polish
alphabet signs. Unfortunatelly, it does not work for some other signs.
=46or example,
if I want to display one empty row, such an announcement appears:
"PSLib: Character 10 not in input encoding vector".

In the foregoing link I also enclose all Polish signs that appear after
this modification, files with font I use and rules of splitting words
(hyph_pl_PL.dic).
In your opinion, would it be better if:
1. I place (in internet) such a miserable patch to your library
together with the source code of my program?
2. I place changed version of your library somewhere in internet?
3. I change the name of your library and the names of functions it
includes not to clash with your original library if I want to place suc=
h
a library in internet.
4. Maybe you have a good solution for ISO-8859-2 encoding or at least
utf-8?
5. ... ?

I'm asking you for a quick answer, as I want to release my simple
program and I should inform all possible willing people what they shoul=
d
do with pslib. Additionally, if I choose the third point, I must modify
the names of functions, header files and the library in my program.

Thanks in advance
