It's surrounded by <NUL>s, but TPU must use that string to build the
font name. There would be no other reason for it to appear.

The character set name is tagged on to every XmString value. In fact, it
is tagged on to every segment of a string value in X. If you do a dump
of the file (or edit it), you'll see much more clearly the context of
the ISO8859-1 before every string constant. |

To do it this way, wouldn't one have to create a font list that contains
a character-set/font combination ? If So, this data should have been
visible in the images and sections I looked into.
X font specifications tend to be very obvious in an executable image.

Since TPU clearly changes the font used in the text display to have

My guess is it uses the default font and uses the "special" charset
within that font. That charset is defined in the X protocol so should
generally be available. I had a quick look at the source listings but
couldn't find anything.
It is also possible that EVE has some means of specifying the font,
e.g. in the section file, and it is not TPU that defines it. |
