Ar an triú lá de mí Bealtaine, scríobh Stephen J. Turnbull: Yeah, I don’t care about the long list of terminals that we could possibly get running with Herculean effort and the demand that the user install and choose compatible fonts. If the user has to install something, let it be a terminal that supports bidi. Now I investigate a bit further, Terminal.app’s bidi is OK, it’s just I find its usual fonts hateful for the particular bidi script I use. It doesn’t need access to the whole buffer, it needs access to the ‘paragraph,’ and treating newline as a paragraph separator is sort-of-endorsed by Unicode. Anyway, it works for me, and it works for folk I know who use PuTTY and right-to-left script. (None of them use XEmacs, unfortunately, but they have no problems with irssi and other very not-multilingual apps.) -- ‘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
