Unicode fonts
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
The new libXg distribution supports Unicode. Sam and 9term built using
|
|
the new UTF libXg will allow one to enter and edit files containing
|
|
Unicode characters encoded using UTF-2 (UTF-FSS). The software
|
|
takes care of all this encoding. Sam may be used to enter the files
|
|
and when displayed in a suitable 9term window will be seen in all
|
|
their Unicode glory. The font bundle is an integral part of this.
|
|
It contains bdf files of fonts which are used to span various ranges
|
|
of the Unicode space.
|
|
|
|
To use them:
|
|
|
|
o convert the bdf files to whatever format is appropriate for
|
|
your system and place the files in a suitable common directory
|
|
o set this directory up as an X font directory by running some
|
|
program such as `mkfontdir' if necessary
|
|
o add the directory to your fontpath `xset fp+ fontdir'
|
|
o make sure libXg knows about the fontfile you wish to use by
|
|
setting the appropriate .p9font X resource (or just *p9font) to
|
|
be something like /lib/font/Xg/matty/unicode.9.font or by
|
|
specifying an appropriate -p9font argument to libXg programs.
|
|
|
|
I am currently using these headers on outgoing Unicode mail, however
|
|
I do not vouch for their correctness. They do provide a bit of clue
|
|
as to what is going on 'though.
|

Mime-Version: 1.0
|
|
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=X-utf-2
|
|
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
|
|
|
|
I am working on a program to convert UTF-2 streams into reasonable
|
|
ascii aproximations where possible.
|
|
|
|
If you create any more fonts or add to the existing fonts, please
|
|
drop me a line so I can add them to the distribution and my collection.
