Re: Font setup on ubuntu?

Ar an chéad lá de mí Bealtaine, scríobh Raymond Toy: JIT here stands for “just-in-time,” as it does elsewhere. The problem was that the Mule encoding doesn’t have (unused) space for all the Unicode code points as well as all the Mule code points, so a static mapping from Mule code points to Unicode code points didn’t work. A dynamic mapping, with Mule code points allocated at runtime, does work, and with a bit of re-jigging of the code space, we have 200,000 possible Unicode points in a given XEmacs session, plenty for normal use. The problem this provoked initially was consistency from auto-save files from one invocation to the next, and we addressed that by using the ISO-IR 196 UTf-8 compatible escapes in our ISO-2022-oriented escape-quoted autosave encoding. The dynamic allocation idea was Mike Fabian’s, and using the ISO-IR 196 escapes for those characters was mine. The net result was we don’t have quite the pressure towards switching to a Unicode internal encoding that we had in the first years of this millenium. -- ‘Iodine deficiency was endemic in parts of the UK until, through what has been described as “an unplanned and accidental public health triumph”, iodine was added to cattle feed to improve milk production in the 1930s.’ (EN Pearce, Lancet, June 2011) _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
