Hello All,
I want to write a XIM and XOM for Indian Language.
I got some suggestions XCIN Developer also. But
I want to write a Encoding based XIM, XIM should
be independent of language and font.
I want to use ISCII as my Encoding. So I can transliterate to
any language at run-time. It should be handled by XOM (?).
Simple Layout :
==============
Input
|
\|/
XIM <-- ASCII to FIE Rule file.
| ISCII is NOT a permentent. User can able
| to use any kind of Encoding ( to Unicode, to TSCII,
| etc ), So it will become Encoding Free XIM (?)
\|/
File / Memory - FIE (Font Independent Encoding)
|
\|/
XOM <-- FIE to Glyph Rule file for every Language.
| @ Runtime depending upon the user Lang setting
| correct rule file is selected.
\|/
Display
FIE to Glyph mapping is 1:1 / 2:1 / 1:2 / ... *:*
Bcoz of the mapping Cursor handling is become a big problem.
Can you help me ?
* Correct me if anything wrong in the above.
* Comments and suggestion are welcome :)
* I am not an Xpert :)
Thanks to all,
