3 Problems, fixmes and other issues in the emacs-unicode branch
|
|
|
4
|
|
|
5 Notes by fx to record a few things. handa needs to check them --
|
|
|
6 don't take too seriously, especially with regard to completeness.
|
|
|
7
|
|
|
8 Do take seriously that you don't want this CVS branch unless you're
|
|
|
9 actually working on it. If you just want to edit Unicode and/or unify
|
|
|
10 iso-8859 et al, see the existing support and the extra stuff at
|
|
|
11 <URL:ftp://dlpx1.dl.ac.uk/fx/emacs/Mule>. Editing support is mostly
|
|
|
12 orthogonal to the internal representation.
|
|
|
13
|
|
|
14 * SINGLE_BYTE_CHAR_P returns true for Latin-1 characters.
|
|
|
15
|
|
|
16 * Grok UTF-8 surrogates.
|
|
|
17
|
|
|
18 * Rationalize character syntax and its relationship to the Unicode
|
|
|
19 database. Specifically, the latin-N.el files aren't consistent for
|
|
|
20 common characters.
|
|
|
21
|
|
|
22 * Fontset handling and customization needs work.
|
|
|
23
|
|
|
24 * Likewise for charset and coding system priorities.
|
|
|
25
|
|
|
26 * The relevant bits of latin1-disp.el need porting (and probably
|
|
|
27 re-naming/updating). See also cyril-util.el.
|
|
|
28
|
|
|
29 * Quail files need work now the encoding is irrelevant. E.g. make
|
|
|
30 unified Latin pre- and post- methods.
|
|
|
31
|
|
|
32 * What to do with the old coding categories stuff?
|
|
|
33
|
|
|
34 * Something's wrong with categories, e.g. the result of C-u C-x e on
|
|
|
35 Lao in HELLO.
|
|
|
36
|
|
|
37 * Syntax for symbols &c in characters needs looking at.
|
|
|
38
|
|
|
39 * The preferred-coding-system property of charsets should probably be
|
|
|
40 junked unless it can be made more useful now.
|
|
|
41
|
|
|
42 * find-coding-systems-for-charsets needs re-writing.
|
|
|
43
|
|
|
44 * find-multibyte-characters needs looking at.
|
|
|
45
|
|
|
46 * Implement Korean cp949/UHC and any other important missing
|
|
|
47 charsets.
|
|
|
48
|
|
|
49 * Check up on tcvn and alternativnj.
|
|
|
50
|
|
|
51 * Lazy-load tables for unify-charset somehow?
|
|
|
52
|
|
|
53 * Should translation tables for {en,de}code and input work now or be
|
|
|
54 scrapped?
|
|
|
55
|
|
|
56 * Defining CCL coding systems currently doesn't work.
|
|
|
57
|
|
|
58 * iso-2022 charsets get unified on i/o.
|
|
|
59
|
|
|
60 * Revisit locale processing: look at treating the language and
|
|
|
61 charset parts separately. (Language should affect things like
|
|
|
62 speling and calendar, but that's not a Unicode issue.)
|
|
|
63
|
|
|
64 * Handle Unicode combining characters usefully, e.g. diacritics, and
|
|
|
65 handle more scripts specifically (á la Devanagari). There are
|
|
|
66 issues with canonicalization.
|
|
|
67
|
|
|
68 * Bidi is a separate issue.
|
|
|
69
|
|
|
70 * DTRT with X keysyms. We should get the right unicode for a given
|
|
|
71 keysym, not decode raw bytes in some ill-defined coding system.
|
|
|
72 (fx has some data on keysyms v. unicodes.)
|
|
|
73
|
|
|
74 * We need tabular input methods, e.g. for maths symbols. (Not
|
|
|
75 specific to Unicode.)
|
|
|
76
|
|
|
77 * Need multibyte text in menus, e.g. for the above. (Not specific to
|
|
|
78 Unicode.)
