Hi, I was looking more at how the unicode printing could be leveraged even more than what we are currently doing. I found some pretty neat examples, for example:
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-demo.txt This is best viewed in vim (for example) in the terminal. Then I tried to encode some common formulas, that I need, for example: In [19]: print u"\u00BD\u2202\u1D66\u03C6\u2202\u1D5D\u03C6" ½∂ᵦφ∂ᵝφ That looks pretty good. However, if I wanted to change \beta to \mu, I didn't find a way to do it, as I didn't find a subscript \mu in unicode. See here what is available and what not: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superscript#Unicode I don't understand, why the full superscript latin lowercase alphabet is available except q... And why only 8 latin letters are available as subscripts. Otherwise there seem to be characters for pretty much everything I need in 95% of cases. I just looked at my recent notes in TeX that I put here: http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=884#c21 and I think all the formulas could be drawn by the current SymPy prettyprinter if we could fix the above missing characters in sub/superscripts. Does anyone know how to do it? Kirill? If unicode is truly missing them, I think it will be worthy to add them somehow, e.g. propose some unicode positions for them, and create an example font, that can be used in a terminal. I think it doesn't have to be particularly hard, it's probably just that noone has needed the characters so far. That would greatly increase the usability of our pretty printer. Then I could manipulate almost all expressions I need in ipython and having them print nicely in a terminal. I like terminals, I don't think anyone has invented anything better in the last 30 years. :) Ondrej --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
