Hi, On Fri, Jul 20, 2012 at 12:30 AM, Tae Wong seotaewon...@gmail.com wrote: Please update Bloček to have the following features. BIDI Full Support No Support Simple Support Unlikely, though who knows what Laaca is capable of. :-) Anyways, I vaguely thought that Mined had some BIDI support, but like most people around here, I'm incapable of testing such languages (unknown to me). See http://www.towo.net/mined/ . GNU Emacs also recently got some BIDI support, thanks to Eli Z. and others, but I'm not sure if that's in 23.3 (where a prebuilt DJGPP binary exists) or only 24.1 (which may or may not build with DJGPP). My weak attempt at building 24.1 failed, probably something silly, but I'm honestly not sure if Eli Z. still intends to maintain it for DJGPP or will give up soon (as he vaguely hinted was possible eventually). Your best bet there is to join news://comp.os.msdos.djgpp or email him directly, esp. if you're willing to test. Be sure to install 23.3 first. See http://na.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/djgpp/current/v2gnu/em2303b.zip (WARNING: 42 MB!). CHARACTER RENDERING Control Characters: Picture Glyph, Decimal, Hexadecimal, Invisible Formatting Characters: Picture Glyph, Alternative Glyph, Invisible Private Use Characters: Standard Glyph, Picture Glyph, Decimal, Hexadecimal Spaces: Standard Glyph, Picture Glyph, Middle Dot Surrogate Codepoints: Picture Glyph, Decimal, Hexadecimal Unavailable Characters: Picture Glyph, Character Name, Decimal, Hexadecimal Unassigned Codepoints (these are not characters): Picture Glyph, Decimal, Hexadecimal Unsupported Characters: Picture Glyph, Character Name, Decimal, Hexadecimal Bloček allows both decimal and hexadecimal, while UniPad only allows hexadecimal. Mined and GNU Emacs have their own ways of representing unknown glyphs, and personally I like Mined's handling of everything. (GNU Emacs internal / default encoding is Unicode nowadays.) GNU Emacs is nice too but a bit unwieldy. Honestly, I've not used them much for real Unicode stuff, esp. not Blocek (mainly because I always forget!), but I'm predominantly English-speaking, so I have no huge need. (Sorry, pathetic but true.) FONT ERRORS in LATIN216.CH and LATIN218.CH The letters e, eacute and ecaron is changed, but edieresis and eogonek do not match the letter e. Please update the e, eacute and ecaron to match edieresis and eogonek. The number zero is slashed instead of having a dot. Can't you manually edit these with Kasmar? Feel free to post a patch somewhere! ;-) GRAMMAR and SPELLING ERRORS in Bloček Bloček hasn't any restrictions about maximal file or file length. I'm not understanding. What should or shouldn't it do here? FreeDOS is currently limited to files of max. 2 GB size, presumably only limited by free DPMI (extended) memory. File name length is 8.3 (or maybe? 260 with LFNs enabled via DOSLFN or other third-party tool), though I'm not sure how well DOSLFN supports non-ASCII filenames (probably very weakly). GRAMMAR and SPELLING ERRORS in Kašmár Unfortunately TTF2PCX has a bug. It claims it can convert chars up to 65535 but it the fact hadles chars only up to 32767 If you are willing to search the sources, it's probably easy to fix. Does this mean your language needs that many chars? KEYBOARDS The Brazilian Portuguese keyboard is called Brasil. Probably to differentiate from Portugal's dialect, I suppose. (Or did you mean spelling? Brazil seems to call itself Brasil!) Please update Bloček and Kašmár by contacting Laaca to fix these grammar and spelling errors. I assume his email still works. You could also try posting on BTTR's Forum, where he often frequents. But don't expect any quick changes. Like most people, he's probably busy (sadly). http://www.bttr-software.de/forum/ But, dare I say it, big thanks for the feedback! :-) -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
