I think it really depends on how people work. I am using an on-screen
display frequently, but cannot afford to have it up all the time since it
eats up screen real estate and also won't travel when switching virtual
desktops/workspaces. I agree that these are fairly minor implementation
issues
It appears my response from this morning didn't make it to the list, so
here it is again. I apologize if this results in a duplicate.

Since I did look into all the issues before that are mentioned in this
thread, let me respond to them.
The applications of dynamic keycaps are pretty broad.
As a proof-of-concept, this would be perfectly valid and reasonably easy to
implement. As a product however, I don't think too many people would go for
it. The group of people who are interested in zero key-travel keyboards (be
they projection, sensor keys, reflection) is pretty finite and I wou
I have been looking into this for many years and talked to numerous
keyboard manufacturers. While the benefits of such a device are obvious for
multilingual computing, heavily modal software would benefit from it as
well. It appears that the production cost would be too high for most

My impression is that at least in U.S. states, which are more heavily
populated by native Spanish speakers, the one diacritic, which is
frequently viewed by English speakers as non-optional to differentiate
two words (specifically proper names) is the tilde as used for the
eñe. There is a college

I have a somewhat related question: With the Euro coming up in a mere
seven months I still see the symbol mostly as an embedded graphic in
Web pages. Does anybo
This discussion reminds me: Somewhere either in TUS3.0 or on the Web
site there was a comment made about the encoded vulgar fractions being
insufficient for, e.g., U.S. stock market quotes and that one should
therefore use font properties to represent fractions instead.
Of course, I cannot find t
Sounds very reasonable. Thanks!

Question: Are Plane 1 Mathematical Alphanumerics intended to be used
for expressing physical quantities? Simple example: For force (F)
should I use 0x46 or 0x1D439 since it is frequently typeset in
italics?
Thanks,
Alex.
There was an interesting, less inflammatory article on this subject in
the November issue of the Atlantic Monthly. It argues that the notion
of English as a global language is quite off the mark.

(Several comments combined. I kept the [off-topic] tag since it really
is.)

You are most welcome! It has been an interesting experience to walk
through the streets and try to be more aware of issues surrounding
language and script. It gave the cultural e
Hi!
I just returned from a lengthy trip through parts of Europe and
thought I mention some observations.
In Greece, I noticed that almost all signs used monotonic Greek. I saw
some older road signs and a couple of store signs that used polytonic
Greek, but according to a Greek acquaintance, ever
