I need a document, ideally a .pdb, that I can test Plucker's unicode
handling on. Does anyone have such a document? Alex
This is news to me. Since when does the Viewer support Unicode?
The Plucker spec says that text data records contain a stream of ISO
Latin-1 characters. This is only
There are two unicode functions, UNICODE16 and UNICODE32 implemented in
paragraph.c. Since I've made a lot of changes to paragraph.c (fixing
sub/superscript code, and speeding up rendering a lot), I thought it
woould be nice to check if they still work. Alex

Feel free to help add the bullet items to compare
I use Plucker and iSilo. I downloaded your comparison matrix, added a
couple of features at the bottom, and made a couple corrections. (e.g.
AvantGo OS5 support is out of beta now.) Things I couldn't answer
definitively include ??? in their answer.
Great work, I've updated my copy
David,
I made a mistake. the iSilo document format is closed and proprietary.

Anyway, I tried writing out text using UTF-8 and UTF-16 and the
documents all came out wrong in the Viewer. Actually I don't understand
how the Viewer handles different character encodings(if it does at all).
It displays different 8-bit encodings (Big-5, ISO-8859-2, KOI8-R) fine,

Well, it's really David Desrosiers'
You might add to the matrix that Plucker Unofficial Hires has keyboard
customizability. (This also relieves the annoyance of the ~32K split,
because if one has a keyboard, one can select the link with the keyboard,
which is painless.) You also might add that it has the ability to take in

iSilo is the viewer. It has a free mode in which hyperlinks and various
other things don't work./ Otherwise, one pays. iSiloX is the
distiller. It's free.

Are the font packages exclusively for HiRes screens or would they work on
160x160 screens? (trying to decide where to put that feature in the
shuffle)
Both.
Also, does the 1.2 Hires version support Virtual graffiti (either handera
or Sony) or not?
Don't know.
I added these features

As in beer. Not open source, though (or at least if it is, they've
hidden it pretty well).
Hmm, I see they've dropped support for iSilo 2.x, the version I have
registered on my palm. I've been using plucker so much and iSilo so
