Changing Wide Character Fonts in Hyperlink Windows

Many of the windows in Sun WorkShop use hyperlinks to other windows to facilitate the display of related information. For example, clicking on a build error in the Building window causes an editor window to display the source code file that contains the error.

Certain resources serve as flags indicating that non-ASCII characters written to a hyperlink display are to be interpreted as multi-byte characters. The multi-byte characters are displayed in the font indicated by the resource.

The resources should be set only in locales in which there is to be multibyte interpretation of non-ASCII characters.

The names of these resources, as they would appear if set in the WORKSHOP resource file, are the following:

Each WC font resource corresponds to a non-WC font resource. If the WC font resource is set, WC font dimensions determine the line spacing and baseline of text elements written in both the WC font and corresponding non-WC font. The purpose is to produce consistent spacing of a line where ASCII and multi-byte characters are mixed. The WC font dimensions are also used for formatting a line written only in the non-WC fonts.

Where WC font resources are set for hyperlink displays of multi-byte characters and you change a WC font resource, the size and spacing of WC fonts should be proportional to the size and spacing of non-WC fonts. To get proportional formatting you might need to modify the resources for non-WC fonts.
