Hi/2.

On DBCS OS/2, 2 special fonts are supported. They are 'WarpSans? Combined' and 'Helv Combined' in 'PS55GUI.FDR'.

Fortunately, these two combined fonts are supported by Qt4 because I can see the text of menu of SMPlayer in Korean.

The font for menu text is 'Helv Combined'. But icon text and window text in Korean are not displayed. The font for them is 'WarpSans? Combined'.

I know, Qt 4 does not support bitmap fonts. So 'WarpSans?' is replaced with 'Workplace Sans' But 'Workplace Sans' does not include any DBCS glyphs. As a result, any Korean texts are not displayed at all.

So I think, you should not replace 'WarpSans?' with 'Workplace Sans' if it is 'WarpSans? Combined'.

In addition, DBCS OS/2 has a special feature. It is 'Font Association'. That is, if a specified font does not include a glyph for a specific codeset, OS/2 load that glyph from the associated font.

Primarily, this is used when DBCS chars need to be displayed on a program using SBCS fonts only.

For DBCS users, I think, this feature is very important.

When the file open dialog is opened in an application, it accesses all drives including the floppy and DVD/CD ones even if the current path is not located there.

It would be great if this could be changed to access the drives only when required because:

• This puts stress on the floppy drive which is usually empty these days and makes the DVD/CD drive spin up unnecessarily if a disc is located in the drive.

• The dialog won't work until the TOC of all media has been read which can take quite some time for floppies and DVDs/CDs.

Once added to the XCenter, the extended systray widget is not visible at all if no application is loaded that uses it. It has a zero width. This is bad for two reasons:

• There is not visual feedback that it has been added to the XCenter correctly.

• It cannot be removed from the XCenter the standard way by right clicking on it and selecting "Remove widget", only via the XCenter properties notebook.

• Setting possible properties would only possible via the XCenter properties notebook.

What about using a minimum width of one icon?
