(gravity) sig font and color issue
Erroneous Maximus
Where can I request a fix to this feature? I like graviry too much to
call it an error, so I'll take M$ que and call it a feature.

Here in nsr - or you can report and discuss stuff like this on the
phpBBoard at SourceForge. I have a link to it on the home page (see
my sig ironically)
There is a topic about this in Bugs and Open Discussion. Feel free
to make some noise about it. It does trigger falsely occasionally
(I think usually with UTF-8 8-bit) so I will go ahead and put it in
the bug tracker.
Care to elaborate what you ideally would like it to do?

Sorry for short changing you on what I would like to see in the sig
font and color glitch. As in days of old have the sig reflect the
size and color of the body...

You want the sig to say:
"This post is 72 lines long, 23% of it is black and 78% of it is mauve."

Let's try this one more time: How about the same font, font size and
color as the message. Sorry I can't make this any clearer for the
smart asses in the peanut gallery.

Uhhh - frag would be the one to program it, so you better be nice!
Anyway, I put it in the tracker (no promises when - other stuff
goin on). I doubt it will go back to text same as body - *maybe*
user configurable.

smart ass comment respectfully withdrawn, and user config would be a
winner.

Heh, no problem.
The sole reason I made it a small font & light grey is the newsgroups I
frequent have lots of sigs, not overly long sigs, but I know nearly all the
people there so the sigs hold zero interest to me.
As Tom says, next on the agenda is doing UTF-8/16 properly which will bring
Gravity bang upto date.
After that its little things such as this.

The “Arial Unicode MS” font has printable graphemes(letters) for
every script(alphabet) in the world ― but it's not monoSpaced per se.
Making all graphemes(all languages) equally monoSpaced, as I do,
means I can create plain-text tables without nasty HTML.
Korean and Chinese are double-wide monoSpaced (vs an ASCII letter),
Some Indic(Hindi) ligatures are quintuple-wide.
I use a binary search to locate the cache of a nonASCII grapheme,
which means I have to know how many glyphs are in the ligature
before I can do the search.
As it stands now, I've simply hard-coded in certain known ligatures,
because I couldn't find a better way to do it, at least not yet.
screenShots of equally monoSpaced graphemes:

――――――――――――――――――
Although Chinese once had a “proper” alphabet,
it was long-ago combined into ligatures, and morphed,
so that they no longer resemble their former selves.
The ampersand(&) is a morphed ligature, for example.
Originally, it was the latin word “et”, meaning “and”.
――――――――――――――――――
My newsReader recognizes/kills 10+ diffent kinds of sigs,
e.g. the many nonStandard ones employed by Google Groups users.

Thx, but I don't bananas. Got any apples instead?
Yeah, I know; I'm an ingrate. :-)

I will patiently await you wizardry and your update notices.

Discovering DiaCritics is simple Windows.H stuff, like this:
if ( !surrogatePair && CH[1] >= 0x300 ) { ushort B[ mxCH ];
// Here, the second glyph could be a Diacritic.
GetStringTypeW( CT_CTYPE3, CH, mxCH, B );
if ( *B == C3_ALPHA ) { ushort *Prop = B ;
// Count diaCritics, for the binary search of cached graphemes.
Loop( mxCH - 1 ) {
if ( !*++Prop || *Prop > 7 ) break ; szGraph++ ; } } }

Apples? I can probably knock a virtual one up in VMWare.
