Font rendering on MacOsX + Japanese Input Method not working

Hello,


First of all, thanks for your 9.2.2 update that solved the special  
characters input on the mac.

At first, I couldn't view correctly the non ISO characters with Amaya  
9.2.2 macOs standalone.
Following the thread on font rendering, I managed to set up the path  
for Unicode fonts.

I edited the file fonts.gl.mac.def and modified by hands the 0;#  
Unicode or Japanese lines.

By the way, the original font path was set to /usr/local/share/ 
fonts/... but I have no such fonts  directory in my standard MacOs  
installation. Instead I have fonts in /Library/Fonts and /Users/login/ 
Library/Fonts/.

I think that the standard install for the mac standalone version  
could be easily ameliorated by adding existing standard MacOsX ttf  
fonts automatically.


But my biggest remaining problem is that the builtin MacOS Japanese  
input method does not work on Amaya standalone 9.2.2. It is the first  
time that I see the input method not working. So, in order to input  
Japanese text, I have to edit my file with another editor (like  
BBEdit) and then to reopen it with Amaya.

I think that while this problem is not solved, all the people using  
an input method (Chinese, Japanese, Korean,etc.) cannot use Amaya  
standalone on MacOsX.

Please keep me informed of your efforts concerning this particular  
problem.

Best regards,

Mathieu
