Hello Rich Felker,
---- start quote ---- 1. Does any existing character cell application (terminal emulator) both display correctly-rendered Indic text and conform to WI1, i.e. does it update column position according to wcwidth() and not the OpenType-rendered width of the text string? I suspect not. RTFS'ing mlterm it seems like it does not. I can't find any good info on ncst-term. 2. Are there serious limitations of WI2 that make it impossible to display [legibly] certain consonant clusters? Can the ZWJ/ZWNJ semantics be satisfied correctly? 3. Other comments? ---- end quote ---- I have a question on this. By "single width", "double width", do you mean a global width constant, or a width that can be specified by the font ? Either way, Indic texts on a console would look really bad and be practically unusable if glyphs had to be put into a specified width: there would be too much spacing. Indic texts by their nature are most suited to variable-widths. Regards, Rajeev J Sebastian -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
