[TCLCORE] Re: message catalogs and Tcl/Tk patch for underlining

[Keiichi T. <bi...@ny...>]

Hi Laurent,

Thank you for your quick response!
Immediately, I patched the file you sent, but the result seems the same as before as
shown in test1b.gif.

I tested this underline escape on simple button widget with msgcat and ja.msg.
The sample script is 'button_ok.tcl' and the result is shown in test6a.gif.

On purpose to compare with normal widget which has the same Japanese string without
underline, 'button_ok_jp.tcl' is also implemented. (Sorry this includes Japanese
characters....) The result is shown in test6b.gif.

They show that calculation of string width for multi-byte character looks correct on
normal widget such as button. But, on built-in widget, such as tk_messageBox and
tk_getSaveFile and so on, the calculation may be incorrect for some reason, though I
do not know why.

I am very sorry that I have not enough time to look into sources of Tk in detail, but
just let you know the result for your patch. Thanks.

Keiichi
