[Bug 119472] Re: figlet doesn't interpret JIS 0201X characters

2008-01-27 Thread Micah Cowan
Nobody besides me will care about this bug, honestly. It's been submitted upstream and approved by at least one developer, so it may come in at some point via a sync. In any case, I'm not finding time to work on much besides Wget these days, and if I'm not going to fix it, I doubt anyone else will.

Here's the approval message from John Cowan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, who, while not currently the maintainer of figlet (was previously), was responsible for the ISO-2022 code in figlet, and gave his blessing for the message. I'm afraid I can't prove this approval to anyone unless they are subscribed t

The jis0201.flc replacement I added here, myjis.flc, has a slight error in the comments at the top of the file. # Invoke JIS Roman in G0/GL, and JIS Katakana ("halfwidth" katakana, but # we map it to fullwidth for compatibility with existing fonts). should be: # Invoke JIS Roman in G0/GL, and JI

Here is a patch that fixes a related problem, in that the meaning of the SHIFT OUT (0x0e) and SHIFT IN (0x0f) characters are currently swapped. I'll roll a debdiff soon, that incorporates these two changes. ** Attachment added: "figlet.diff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8210994/figlet.diff -

Here's the proposed control-file to replace jis0201.flc. Rather than mapping the first 256 byte values to JIS X 201, it makes use of figlet's ISO 2022 support. So you can use low- and high-value bytes, or you can use SHIFT OUT and SHIFT IN, or whatever. Also, it maps the katakana code points to Un

Actually, figlet supports Unicode mapping file formats; the remaining problem is probably just the fact that they are mapped to half-width rather than full-width katakana characters, mismatching the banner font's expectations. -- figlet doesn't interpret JIS 0201X characters https://bugs.launchp

Update: the jis0201.flc file appears to be a Unicode mapping file from the Unicode Consortium, rather than a figlet control file. Also, the mapping specified there is to half-width katakana characters (U+FF61 - U+FF9F); whereas it appears ,from the working contents of uskata.flc, and the contents o
