utf8 and solaris
|
| |
Folks, well this is not on linux. I have an issue in Sun Solaris box where octal values gets displayed instead of symbols like "^","|" as \136, \075. This happens if I set my LC_CTYPE to en_US.UTF-8 locale and I have the "set verbose" on. The OS/hardware is SunOS irvhomer 5.9 Generic_118558-23 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250... more »

Copy/pasting german strings in gnome-terminal
|
| |
Hi, I have been using copy/paste technique when I have to enter a german string (with umlauts and all) in gnome-terminal (v2.8.2) on Debian sarge. This works perfectly fine, and the characters get reproduced faithfully on the command line. Today I tried the same thing on FreeBSD's gnome-terminal (v2.12.0),... more »

Proposed fix for Malayalam (& other Indic?) chars and wcwidth
|
| |
Hi Rich Felker, I find your work to provide support for Indic text on console/terminal to be admirable, and yes, any kind of display is far better than none at all (and I do not consider your statement insulting) :) What I was referring to was a comment along the lines of "... have a set of wcwidth classes (say, 1, 2, and 3) and assign - glyphs - to one of those classes... ". (Please forgive me if I misunderstood the last few posts.) The word to note is "glyph". What I'm saying is you cannot in advance specify the width of any given conjunct. It may be different in different fonts.... more »

Internationalizing testing.
|
| |
Hi, I was reading through Andrea Vine's article, "Internationalizing Testing" (here: [link]). In this she presents a strong case to internationalize the existing test framework, so that the QA folks save a lot of time. In our organization too, our QA does the i18n testing, *after* they... more »

Proposed fix for Malayalam (& other Indic?) chars and wcwidth
|

Working on uuterm[1], I've run into a problem with the characters 0D4A-0D4C and possibly others like them, in regards to wcwidth(3) behavior. These characters are combining marks that attach on both sides of a cluster, and have canonical equivalence to the two separate pieces from which they are built, but yet Markus' wcwidth... more »

Announcing uuterm and ucf (universal charcell font)
|
| |
After much work, I finally have a working (but still experimental) version of uuterm and the "ucf" bitmap font format I proposed in August. Source for uuterm is browsable at [link] and a sample ucf font is linked from the included README. Since ucf is probably more interesting to members of this list than... more »
