hi,

They are all covered by iconv() in glibc. Below are suitable iconv
encoding identifiers:

Ah ok, so enconding 0 is the normal Latin1, which maps 1:1 to the first 256
characters of Unicode/UCS (or whatever it's called)?

For the other tables i found tables at www.unicode.org, so i now have 5
128-entry arrays, and i don't need iconv. It seems to work fine.

Are there any transponders on 19.2E or 13E which use some obscure encoding?
i really like to see 0x11 in action or some cyrillic or arabic chars (but
then i first have to take another look at RTL  and especially MIXING RTL and
LTR in one paragraph.. uh.. i shouldn't have used my own font renderer...)

you find a unicode-bidi-reference implementation in a few hundret lines on the unicode site, fribidi+pango do it much more sophisticated and introduce a dependency to the glib.
