Problems, fixmes and other issues in the emacs-unicode branch
|
|
|
|
Notes by fx to record various things of variable importance. handa
|
|
needs to check them -- don't take too seriously, especially with
|
|
regard to completeness.
|
|
|
|
_Do take seriously that you don't want this CVS branch unless you're
|
|
actually working on it; you'd risk your data._ If you just want to
|
|
edit Unicode and/or unify iso-8859 et al, see the existing support and
|
|
the extra stuff at <URL:ftp://dlpx1.dl.ac.uk/fx/emacs/Mule>. Editing
|
|
support is mostly orthogonal to the internal representation.
|
|
|
|
* SINGLE_BYTE_CHAR_P returns true for Latin-1 characters.
|
|
|
|
* Grok UTF-8 surrogates.
|
|
|
|
* Rationalize character syntax and its relationship to the Unicode
|
|
database. Specifically, the latin-N.el files aren't consistent for
|
|
common characters.
|
|
|
|
* Fontset handling and customization needs work.
|
|
|
|
* Likewise for charset and coding system priorities.
|
|
|
|
* The relevant bits of latin1-disp.el need porting (and probably
|
|
re-naming/updating). See also cyril-util.el.
|
|
|
|
* Quail files need work now the encoding is irrelevant. E.g. make
|
|
unified Latin pre- and post- methods.
|
|
|
|
* What to do with the old coding categories stuff?
|
|
|
|
* Syntax for symbols &c in characters needs looking at.
|
|
|
|
* The preferred-coding-system property of charsets should probably be
|
|
junked unless it can be made more useful now.
|
|
|
|
* find-coding-systems-for-charsets needs re-writing.
|
|
|
|
* find-multibyte-characters needs looking at.
|
|
|
|
* Implement Korean cp949/UHC and any other important missing
|
|
charsets.
|
|
|
|
* Check up on tcvn and alternativnj.
|
|
|
|
* Lazy-load tables for unify-charset somehow?
|
|
|
|
* Translation tables for {en,de}code currently aren't supported.
|
|
|
|
* Defining CCL coding systems currently doesn't work.
|
|
|
|
* iso-2022 charsets get unified on i/o.
|
|
|
|
* Revisit locale processing: look at treating the language and
|
|
charset parts separately. (Language should affect things like
|
|
speling and calendar, but that's not a Unicode issue.)
|
|
|
|
* Handle Unicode combining characters usefully, e.g. diacritics, and
|
|
handle more scripts specifically (á la Devanagari). There are
|
|
issues with canonicalization.
|
|
|
|
* Bidi is a separate issue with no support currently.
|
|
|
|
* DTRT with X keysyms. We should get the right unicode for a given
|
|
keysym, not decode raw bytes in some ill-defined coding system.
|
|
(fx has some data on keysyms v. unicodes.)
|
|
|
|
* We need tabular input methods, e.g. for maths symbols. (Not
|
|
specific to Unicode.)
|
|
|
|
* Need multibyte text in menus, e.g. for the above. (Not specific to
|
|
Unicode.)
|
|
|
|
* Still can't have case pairs which have different byte lengths --
|
|
can that be fixed for Turkish, at least?
|
|
|
|
* There's currently no support for Unicode normalization.
|
|
|
|
* You can grep the code for lots of fixmes.
