Ar an triochadú lá de mí Aibréan, scríobh Raymond Toy: Hurray! Three things occur to me: 2. The language-to-charset mapping in fontcolor-xlike-inc.c is far from complete. Now, having it complete wouldn’t be a panacea, especially with the JIT unicode charsets, but it would improve things a little. Easy enough to change. 2. There’s nothing like the below in the startup files. This would be also easy enough to change. 3. There’s no support whatsoever for contextual shaping, bidirectional text, combining characters and all the other good stuff that makes multilingual text display an interesting problem. This is basically impossible without a couple of man years in the context of XEmacs’ XFT support; it’s entirely achievable with GTK and Pango, and Jeff Sparkes has done important work in that direction. His repository is here: https://bitbucket.org/jsparkes/xemacs-gtk . Code from 2: (when (featurep 'xft-fonts) (with-fboundp '(fc-name-unparse fc-font-match fc-name-parse) (set-specifier (face-font 'default) (cons '(x) (fc-name-unparse (fc-font-match (selected-device) (fc-name-parse "Monospace-11.5:lang=en"))))) (loop for (tag-name regex size) in '((zh-tw "^chinese-\\(big5\\|cns\\)" 18) (zh "^chinese-" 18) (ja "^\\(japanese\\|katakana\\)-" 18) (ko "^korean-" 18) (am "^ethiopic-" 18) (vi "^vietnamese-" 14) (el "^greek-" 12) (ru "^cyrillic-" 12) (hu "^latin-iso8859-2" 12) (ar "^arabic-" 16) (lo "^lao" 14) (he "^hebrew" 11.5) (th "^thai" 14)) do (define-specifier-tag tag-name nil `(lambda (charset) (string-match ,regex (symbol-name (charset-name charset))))) (set-face-font 'default (fc-name-unparse (fc-font-match (selected-device) (fc-name-parse (format "-%d:lang=%s" size tag-name)))) nil (list 'x tag-name) 'append)))) -- ‘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
