Charmap 0.1 "In Soviet Ukraine, Charmap releases you" Description --------------- Charmap is a character map for GNUstep. Charmap 0.1 is the first major release, as the alpha proved useful for several people and I guess the beta was okay too because I didn't get any response. What's new --------------- * Font selection * Documentation * Improved presentation of Unicode information (thanks to Alex Malmberg). Charmap will now display the CJK ideograph definition if the file Unihan.txt is present in the directory Charmap is launched from. See INSTALL Known Problems ----------------------- * When the matrix for a given Unicode block is generated, it doesn't deactivate the superfluous cells, resulting in barely-noticable overlap. This has proved a very frustrating problem and I would be grateful for any help from experienced Steppers. * The higher portions of Unicode still aren't supported because GNUstep's NSString doesn't support them. This shouldn't be a big problem, since there are very few fonts at the moment which have anything in the higher portions. * When you switch to another Unicode block, there are some NSLog messages about deleted rows which don't exist. Enhancements Still To Come ---------------------------------------- * CJK and decomposition information - maybe in a loadable bundle to minimize size (otherwise you'd have a 20MB character map) * A goto option (by using the hex number or Unicode name) * A Help feature using Nicholas Roard's HelpViewer Download -------------- See Charmap's project page at http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/charmap Downloads are now signed with my GPG key, in addition to MD5 and SHA1 checksums, for the security-minded connosieur of free software. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Christopher Culver - [email protected] PGP key ID: ECA6CDA8 (sign only) Fingerprint: C162 22C6 DB7E D59D 0CEE 71D5 4E29 DE72 ECA6 CDA8 PGP key ID: 8C444E97 (sign/encrypt) Fingerprint: E7BA D851 9714 8D97 C4F9 1777 8168 6913 8C44 4E97 ------------------------------------------------------------
