Hi Richmond,
Could you create any kind of custom text editor
Yes: my PISMO program is just a (much simplified) version of
my Devawriter program using a different writing set.
The main difference lies in the fact that both Cyrillic and Glagolitic
(the writing systems used in
my PISMO program) are written from left-to-right in a straight-forward way.
Devanagari (like many Indian writing systems) is written from
left-to-right, but there is a problem
to do with the positioning of a post-vocalic R, a short I (which is
written before a consonant that
it is sounded after, and the fact that a consonantal cluster aggregates
into a new written form called
a 'conjunct consonant'. So Devawriter contains something in the order of
5,000 rules to make
sure that when end-users tap in individual glyphs (the Devanagari script
is an abugida, not an
alphabet) the 'magic' happens [mind you, programming the thing didn't
feel very magical at
times].
if you load it's font using revfontload?
Imagine that you want to publish a portable text editor
and grammar spellchecker for:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirth
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarati
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tengwar
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klingon_alphabets
Could you load/unload the fonts without any
kind of problems in all platforms?
Thanks in advance!
Al
I have played around with revfontload and had a really bad time: so
stopped trying (about 2 years ago).
In fact I think it would be lovely if it could be possible for Livecode to
EMBED fonts in a standalone (c.f. PDF documents): but whether that would
be possible I just don't know.
Richmond.
