नमस्ते ! namaste !
I have worked mostly on GNU/Linux and Indian languages. I found Openoffice to be the best editor on Desktops/laptops for complex scripts which works on GNU/Linux as well as Windows. All that one has to have is the Opentype Font corresponding to the script of the language and an input scheme ( keyboard) for the script enabled at Operating system level. I have also used a very simple freely downloadable editor yudit in which you can write simple text without formatting. This text can then be copied / pasted in openoffice or any other program/application like gmail/chat etc. For any support, you can send me an e-mail on [email protected] अलका ईरानी On Sun, Oct 7, 2012 at 9:27 PM, Doug Ewell <[email protected]> wrote: > [image: Boxbe] <https://www.boxbe.com/overview> > [email protected] is not on your Guest > List<https://www.boxbe.com/approved-list>| Approve > sender <https://www.boxbe.com/anno?tc=12601219191_105425078> | Approve > domain <https://www.boxbe.com/anno?tc=12601219191_105425078&dom> > > Stephan Stiller wrote: > > Ideal would be an editor that gives me previews in an easy-to-use >> encoding selection menu that in addition highlights fully or almost- >> compatible encodings, highlights (after loading) positions in the file >> that don't conform to the requested encoding (and lets me choose how >> to handle them), and knows different versions of encodings. >> > > I once tried an editor that had something like this, but it was otherwise > so unsuitable that I don't even remember its name any more. > > As some codepages had minor additions or corrections in later >> versions, it'd be useful to have an editor that offers the choice to >> access earlier versions of encodings - this is clearly specialist >> usage but the knowledge exists. >> > > Most character sets change very little, at least in terms of repertoire, > and the changes are almost always limited to adding new characters.
