Braille regression in ben-unicode-internal (and some other unicode char groups)

Fri Jun 18 09:17:38 EDT 2010

I grabbed the attached HELLO file from gnu.emacs.devel a few months ago.
Somebody had encoded hello into quite a few languages using UTF-8.   I
think it's a good test for Ben's unicode branch, which came out quite well.

I was comparing the trunk of XEmacs-21.5b29 against ben-unicode-internal
viewing this file.   The unicode branch displayed quite a few more
character, but
there were regressions in various character sets.   Since they displayed in
b29,
the fonts must be available.

I tested on cygwin 1.7,with similarly configured binaries:
  ben-unicode-internal:  ./configure -C --with-unicode-internal --with-mule
  xemacs: ./configure -C --with-mule

I copied and pasted this from the b29 binary into gmail on Chrome. XEmacs
 displayed it as all ~, but it obviously had the right characters.   I've
attached the
braille file here:

Some of the other samples that didn't display in unicode, although
they could be copied and pasted into Chrome.

Chrome doesn't even display ogham and runic.  GNU Emacs 23.50 does.
I don't know if XEmacs

Dear sirs,

This is just a quick thought and proposal to replace Emacs etc/HELLO file.

As Emacs 23 fully supports UCS/Unicode now, etc/HELLO file may be
extended, so that it covers the languages and scripts that had not been
covered by the previous Emacs versions.

Also, HELLO file may contain symbols and rare or ancient scripts, so
that it contains at least one character from each UCS/Unicode blocks.
That would help Emacs users to quick-check which fonts their Emacsen are
missing.

I've collected the "Hello" entries from various on-line dictionaries
over the Internet (especially omniglot.com is useful).  Languages are
selected so that at most two or three languages are shown for each
script (except Latin script, which has several significant languages).
I gathered scripts that I could not find "Hello" entries to separate
entries, and classified them by writing directions.

The proposed etc/HELLO file attached below may contain some
inappropriateness or mistakes, which I appreciate if someone could point
out or fix.  Also, most of script samples merely line up the characters.
Refining them to meaningful text is also appreciated.

=====================

The quickest way to view all characters in this HELLO.txt file is to
install "Code2000" font, Mr. George Douros's Unicode Symbol font, "MPH
Damase 2D" font and Cyrillic font by BukyVede.  That would cover most of
Unicode 5.1 characters.  Beside them, specific Tibetan, Tagalog, Arabic
Supplement, Sinhalese and Sundanese font fill the gap.  Still, Font for
"New Tai Lue", "Balinease", "Lepcha" and few other script seems not
available freely for now.

This is a list of ways to say hello in various languages.
(For symbols and some scripts, only sample texts or characters are shown.)

Languages and scripts are classified by writing directions.
