far east font and IME

[PeakGao]

When can support far east font and IME? it is necessary for a powerful UI library! for IME, your may reference to microsoft directx sdk's simple UI library and sample.

The CEGUI library does not have input handling code for any platform.
Instead it's up to the application programmer to "inject" the correct unicode (UTF32) code points to the library.

From what I could tell IME (Input Method Editor) is the client code that needs to do this translation, and as such should not be a part of the CEGUI base library.

While supporting asian input methods is an important feature I think it should be a 3rd party "module" or something like that. The code would obviously be useful for much more than just CEGUI (alot of apps need to translate keyboard input to localized characters).

All CEGUI developers live in countries using latin character tables, and thus seeing a library to do this is very unlikely from any of us.

Another barrier is that the current CEGUI font system is'nt very well suited for having very large glyph sets. This is a known issue and there are plans of rewriting the font system.

When this will happen I simply cannot tell.
