I really hope you don't push yourself too hard on this. It's niche at its best. Honestly, if I were you, I'd just do Latin-[1234] first, as that seems the most common subset, and they were originally defined together. It's not that I'm so stubborn to require Latin-3, and I can easily just use Mined + cp853 if really needed (to write Latin-3 or UTF-8 encoded). But I'm probably not going to write any large E-o texts any time soon :-) , hence my not wanting to burden you. But yeah, Latin-3 (etc.) seems more official, widespread, etc. than others. Maybe that's changing now that the "big three" OSes (and their devs) are pushing Unicode (UTF-8, UTF-16, etc.), but that's a bit outside of the textmode-based code page trajectory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep yourself connected to Go Parallel: INSIGHTS What's next for parallel hardware, programming and related areas?
