Hi,
This patch removes a call to XCreateFontSet which was causing wine to be very slow in some Chinese locale settings. The server side font calls are supposed to be deprecated anyway as Dan pointed out in his comment here: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5309
According to the Xlib programming manual, if a font set is not specified when calling XCreateIC, the default is determined by the input method. But it seems that this used to be a required field, so I am not sure if this will break any old input methods out there. Any ideas on how I could better test this before submitting?
Thanks! -Nigel
