How about just masking off the top few bits when checking for delimiters? Not really a clean solution, but certainly simple. It would mean some long numbers in subfont files. If we use the top 4 bits: 0x1000 0x101f /mnt/font/MyriadPro-It/36a/x.bit That doesn't look as bad as I thought it would. -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T9673b88bfb3c3d3b-Mb7b9badadb38745e744e6e5a Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription

Remembering a discussion on 9fans where I suggested that capital letters ought to be a different font, not a unique glyph (Russian, for example, I believe just changes the font size, which we know is a different font), I think Russ's is an excellent solution, given those 8 bits between 24 and 32 that one can abuse for the purpose. It does mean that acme needs some way to extend its grasp of delimiters into the extended fonts. Solving that without resorting to a total separation between input and rendering, would be a winner, but I am not competent enough to know if it is even remotely possible. Incidentally, I opted for a tag line that looks like this: "... Snarf Undo Put |Fmt |q |f78 look |b |e Font" where I use "b" and "e" /bin commands to generate time stamps in my "notepad" document. The details don't seem worth going into, "q", if I remember right, is straight out of Russ's $home/bin/rc from years back (with "g" which I have yet to enhance correctly to work on ".go" directories). I got my inspiration remembering that a friend and colleague (Windows user) adopted single letter command for all sorts of shortcuts he memorised and even changed in different contexts. The temptation to add a vertical edge to each acme window with a single letter in little blocks - lower case and possibly capitals - is only resisted by my reluctance to tackle a task I may not be sufficiently competent to complete. And for other ".go" developers, how many of you have found renaming a module from ".go" to ".no" a practical approach to get it, temporarily, perhaps, out of the way of the compiler? Lucio. PS: Sorry about the off-topic diversion. I do happen to be marvelling over fonts among many other distractions from my day job. I still don't quite have a proper understanding, so I get odd results when I try to do anything creative, but not everything is a failure, thankfully. PPS: Like Forsyth, I like the io/fs idea. I like "generics" a lot less, and I find go modules (sorry, Russ) quite incomprehensible . -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T9673b88bfb3c3d3b-Mae90300b682bbcb6fa2f483c Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription

Unless I'm misunderstanding how this works, ',' (0x2c) gets mangled to something like 0x10002c. So, acme knows the location, but not the character types.

In my current computer the fonts look as crisp as any native Mac app, except for slashes where some jagginess can be seen on close inspection.
