Hello
In my opinion Jeff's work on xemacs-gtk is a big leap towards BIDI
support.
So far I have written hebrew via KDE keyboard layout, but of course this
is not a solution, since all the Control commands are then lost.
So I thought of providing a hebrew input method, in fact several
different layouts, standard layout, layout with niqud (vowels), phonetic
layout.
The question is: in which coding should I save the file:
- iso-8859-8
- UTF-8
- iso-2022-7bit.
The first option would rule out niqud. I am not sure between two and
three. GNU emacs uses iso-2022-7bit, which is not compatible with "our"
iso-2022-7bit, at least when I open their hebrew.el (quail file). I
don't see hebrew letters. When I use GNU emacs save the file with UTF8
and open it with xemacs (21.5.33 Mule) I see the hebrew letters
correctly displayed.
Which makes me vote for UFT8.
Any comments??
