2009-07-06 Thread Barry Hadder
Actually there is a way to send and receive unicode characters. You can run telnet with the -L option to set 8-bit binary output, or with -8 to set binary in and out. Of course terminal it self has all of these encodings but I don't think they have anything to do with what is sent remotely.

Well, It works better on some pages than on others. But over all, I would say that it it is significantly quicker navigation in most cases. I leave it on all the time. I have seen a few instances however where some things are invisible to VO when group is on. I'm not sure, but it seems

I recommend OpenOffice. With Writer you have access to bullets and tables. With those two things, you can make a pretty decent technical document. Just a note about the tables: You might not think that you can do anything with Them at first, but it does work. However, Text presented in a t

You don't have to use TEXShop. You can just run the tools from the command line. I should also mention that I have noticed some ligatures not showing up correctly in pdf files generated with pdflatex or dvipdf. lowercase fi is one that comes to mind. I haven't a clue as to why this is

Hi, Are you also receiving unicode? What switch did you run telnet with? You might also look in terminal preferences/encodings and see if the right ones are checked. I really have no idea if that would work but that is what I would do. Of course, you might have already done that. Sorry
