[Pythonmac-SIG] Problem with tkaqua Tkinter and some Kanji unicode values.

[Read Roberts]

Thank you for your  response!  I followed your advice to ask on the " 
tcl-mac" list, and was told that the problem is known, and a  patch 
exists: The patch has not yet been integrated into the TkAcqua main 
branch because it slows text processing down a lot. Someone is 
working on this, and it may be folded into the main branch soon.

For  description of the patch see "[ 638966 ] Font rendering on 
MacOSX with ATSU":
