Hello Belcon,
It seems I found a solution to the problem. It's my silly bug in RTF
exporter. I'm very sorry for it. (Though I don't have CJK locale to test
solution). In ie_exp_RTF_listenerWriteDoc.cpp, in function
s_RTF_ListenerWriteDoc::_outputData there are following strings:
if (c>0x007f) {
m_pie->_rtf_keyword("uc",0);
signed short si = *((signed short *)c);
m_pie->_rtf_keyword("u",si);
} else {
*pBuf++ = (UT_Byte)c;
};
They should be changed to:
if (c>0x007f) {
FlushBuffer();
m_pie->_rtf_keyword("uc",0);
signed short si = *((signed short*)c);
m_pie->_rtf_keyword("u",si);
} else {
*pBuf++ = (UT_Byte)c;
};
I.e. FlushBuffer(); inserted.
Please report whether this solves the problem.
If yes, then it seems AW is fully CJK-aware.

I'm sure it won't be difficult for you to trace this down. Where does it
crash?
I guess it happens because XAP_EncodingManager::getTexPrologue() returns
NULL (though I fixed that problem in my last patch, that hunk seem to be
missing in CVS - didn't check it though).

I think it's author of distribution's task to generate fonts.dir for their
system and ship apropriate fonts.dir in AW package. So "average user"
shouldn't bother to know what is TTF and what is font path etc. Hackers that
know could do this task by hand.
