This definitely will not be implemented. At least, in current iteration. :-) Syscons will count code points. > In either of those case the backspacing might appear broken to the user. Yes. The improvement will not solve all internationalization issues at once. Just some of them. > What frightens me away is the implementation cost for the fonts. I'm planning only software engineering work for this project. Probably, someone else will have to prepeare fonts, event if that is a costly task. > Rendering complex RTL scripts (Arabic, Hebrew) is another issue.

Or, more exactly, not better than now. I'm considering rendering as another issue. So, only code points for the first step. Alexander ChuranovReceived on Sun Aug 31 2008 - 18:38:29 UTC
