Re: Draft Proposal to encode the English Phonotypic Alphabet

Just curious ... Is there a free font anywhere that contains these characters? Either in the PUA of a Unicode font or encoded somehow in an 8-bit font? Thanks Jonathan Coxhead 72 Rock Harbor Ln, Foster City CA 94404 +1-650-430-6564 (m) On 2010-06-30 9:26 am, Mark Davis ☕ wrote

Re: CSS3, Unicode BIDI, and Vertical Text Layout

. Rtl and ltr are only meaningful in horizontal writing. But the LTR text would be rotated clockwise, and the RTL anticlockwise, wouldn't it? So there is *an* interaction---just not the same one. -- /| Jonathan Coxhead o o o (_|/ /| Sunnyvale CA (_/

RE: Complex Combining

My take on Cleanicode, the Atomic Theory of Unicode, can be found at http://www.doves.demon.co.uk/atomic.html. It is very much a software engineer's view of character coding. The characters START GROUP and POP DIRECTIONAL FORMATTING are used as brackets. Yes, it could involve arbitrary

In TeX, the difference is that an EM QUAD (\qquad) and an EN QUAD (\quad) provide spaces that are legitimate breakpoints for lines within a paragraph; while EM SPACE, EN SPACE (\enspace) and THIN SPACE (\thinspace) produce horizontal space that cannot cause a line-break. My assumption
