Well, I have actually tried making double-width glyphs for Burmese to put into GNU Unifont and it was not very much fun. Really ugly and not legible. It would really be much better to do as I suggest in my previous email: work on mlterm and GNU Unifont with 1,2,3,4 character cell width support at the same time. Then you can get Burmese bitmap glyphs that look OK and write a terminal emulator to support them at the same time. Whatever decisions are made for GNU Unifont --and hopefully good decisions can be agreed upon, becomes the defacto standard, and someone can even write it up as a real standard too. - Ed > > Martin > > > -- > Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels > Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/ > > > -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
