unicode / utf

unicode / utf

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

I uploaded a new beta archive with under context/extras a file showunic.tex.

The resulting pdf can be fetched from the website (manuals -> fonts -> ...)

When playing with this i could not get the hebrew vector working. I think that 
we need (a volunteer) to make (us) some kind of hebrew/arab encoding and fall 
back font (probably virtual) with all glyphs (no ligs needed for arab, just 
individual shapes).

Hans

showunic.pdf is very attractive, but I think you need some encoding
vectors for VN stuff-you're using the fallbacks there. I have them on my
machine, and will clean them up for some special occasion.

Hmm. Are you sure that showunic.tex was included in the distro? I
downloaded twice, and didn't find it. I did notice a new unic-run, however.

indeed we need vietnamese

also, there may be a better choice for a russian encoding

concerning greek: we nee to sort out an encoing there because iwona and such 
will ship with greek

[we can try to use antykwa since it has latin, greek, vietnamese and cyrillic]

ok, so how about a proper combined arab/hebrew font/encoding first (so that we 
can map the unicode vectors and have decent fall back scenarios)

Hi Hans,

I've been dealing with getting Unicode Arabic working for the Arabic project 
so I'll be glad to help with the Arabic part. I have some fresh ideas for a 
new standard in this regard also...

Best
Idris
