Re: Unicode in MacOSX: any progress?

Hello Michael,

in my answer back in october 2006 to Mike Gasser on this
list,
I referred to a thread I found here:
  http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/tcl-m
ac/2865240
This thread discusses a patch for tk 8.4.9 to enable
support
for something called "Apple Type Services for Unicode
Imaging" (ATSUI).
Being also somewhat interested I looked into the ChangeLogs
of the current releases of tk. From the info found there
I guess that this patch has never been incorporated in the
8.4 branch
(No mention of it in the current 8.4.16 release).
But it is mentioned in the current 8.5 Beta release.

This looks like you have to move to 8.5 for unicode on
MacOSX
(and see what other things in Tkinter break 
or find the patch and do it yourself for 8.4.

BTW Mike Gasser never reported success/failure to the list.
I would be very interested to hear if and how it works for
you.
