faster than TMW->Unicode etc.; this is because many fewer replacements
are made (i.e., more text is replaced each time a replacement is
performed).
I must find a way to still preserve formatting but do many fewer
replacements in TMW->{Unicode,TM} and TM->TMW.
I've fixed that.
I've also added a couple of Unicode mappings to give a flavor for how
multi-codepoint mappings will be represented.
TM->TMW conversion takes about 1 second per thousand glyphs on my
PIII-550.
noticed that formatting is mostly OK but sometimes gets bungled slightly.
I tried everything I could think of, and now I'm passing the buck to Java's
RTF support.
TMW_RTF_TO_THDL_WYLIE (now misnamed) support TMW->TM
conversion (but not TM->TMW). There is an automated test case for a
TMW->TM conversion.
I have full confidence in this conversion. Even the smallest glitch in the core
functionality (not formatting) would surprise me.
Note that the JUnit test TMW_RTF_TO_THDL_WYLIETest sometimes fails
due to one- or two-line diffs between the actual and expected outputs. This
is because Java's RTF support is not deterministic, I'm guessing, and is not
a real failure. I'm too lazy to make a more elaborate sed/diff mechanism
that works on all platforms, and that would complicate the build anyway.
brace problem upon opening any RTF document.
The TMW_RTF_TO_THDL_WYLIE test baselines changed because
I fixed (a while ago) some inconsistencies between the EWTS standard and
Jskad.
Conversion of TibetanMachineWeb8.40, @#, to Wylie now works correctly.
Unfortunately, though, typing @# doesn't produce 8.40, it still produces
8.38 and 8.39, two glyphs.
org.thdl.tib.input.TMW_RTF_TO_THDL_WYLIE. It converts RTF files
consisting of TMW characters to the corresponding THDL Extended Wylie.
It supports --find-some-non-tmw mode, which allows you to ensure that no
unusual characters will spoil the conversion. The converter has built-in
intelligence that allows it to handle Tahoma '{', '}', and '\\' characters
properly.
The converter works on mixed Roman/TMW also, but --find-some-non-tmw
and --find-all-non-tmw modes are not as useful.
Invoke org.thdl.tib.input.TMW_RTF_TO_THDL_WYLIE, which resides in
Jskad's jar, with no command-line options to see usage information.
Noted some failures. "Fixed" the code to do what I want it to do for
the (no sanskrit stacking, tibetan stacking) case [which is exercised
by this keyboard only].
clean check'. Right now there are tests to ensure that typing certain
sequences of keys in the Extended Wylie keyboard gives the expected
Extended Wylie back when "Tools/Convert Tibetan to Wylie" is invoked.
The syntactically illegal d.wa now converts to Tibetan and then back
to d.wa (not dwa, as it did); likewise with the illegal g.wa. wa
doesn't take any prefixes, but I prefer clean end-to-end
behavior. (jeskd doesn't go end-to-end, though.)
Note that you cannot successfully run the DuffPane tests on a Linux
box unless your DISPLAY variable is set correctly. Thus, my nightly
builds will fail with an Error (as opposed to a Failure).
of various known Java bugs. Those who mess around with
backspace take note of the following:
The Java bug database has several related bugs concerning the treatment
of backspace. Here I adopt solution based on fix of bug 4402080:
Evaluation The text components now key off of KEY_TYPED with a keyChar == 8 to do the
deletion. The motivation for this can be found in bug 4256901.
xxxxx@xxxxx 2001-01-05
now a preference.
In addition, Jskad now raises an error dialog when you try to "Save
As" to a bad place or open a file that doesn't exist or isn't
readable.
into Jskad's JAR file.
Doing so required that I cut out a lot of fancy HTML code. The correct fix
is to use XML to store the meat and then use XSL to generate two forms of
HTML: one dumb enough for Java, one for use on the THDL tools website.
'Fonts' module inside the 'Jskad' module. I.e., you must now have the
tree like so:
Jskad/
source/
dist/
Fonts/
TibetanMachineWeb/
.
.
.
This is because the THDL tools now optionally (and by default) load
the TibetanMachineWeb fonts automatically.
Updated the build system so that the 'web-start-releases' and
'self-contained-dist' targets JAR up optional JARs to create
double-clickable, self-contained joy. Even the TMW fonts are in the
JARs now.
Changed the strings describing two Jskad keyboards so that "keyboard"
is no longer in the description. It's in the label next to the combo
box.
Jskad now saves preferences on exit or when the user selects a menu
item (that is there for debugging mainly) to ~/my_thdl_preferences.txt
on *nix or C:\my_thdl_preferences.txt on Win32. I don't know the
correct Mac location.
There's a new paradigm for telling org.thdl.util.ThdlOptions that a
user preference has been changed. If, for example, a combo box is
manipulated so that the ACIP keyboard is selected, then you must call
a certain method in ThdlOptions.
but does line breaks correctly. I.e., I refactored DuffPane into two classes.
I did this trying to track down a subtle bug in line breaking: 'gye ' breaks
after 'gy' sometimes, with the dreng bo on the next line, but only when you
resize the window certain ways, and only in Savant (and maybe QD and the
translation tool, I don't know) but not in Jskad.
I was not successful in finding the bug, but it still exists when I use
TibetanPanes instead of DuffPanes in org.thdl.savant.tib.*.
ACIP or 'ShSm' in Extended Wylie to see the new behavior.
We use a trie to store valid input sequences. In the future, we could use
the same trie as a replacement for the more inefficient HashSets we use to
store characters, vowels, and punctuation. For example, we'd use
'validInputSequences.put("K", new Pair("consonant", "k"))' when reading
in the ACIP keyboard's description of the first consonant of the Tibetan
alphabet in 'TibetanKeyboard.java'.
Note that the current trie implementation is only useful for 7- or 8-bit
transcription systems, and works best for tries with low average depth, which
describes a transcription system's trie very well. If you used arbitrary
Unicode in your keyboard, you'd need a different trie implementation.
Improved the optional keyboard input mode status messages.
Added a JUnit test for the new Trie that fails at present since the Trie is
case-insensitive. Running JUnit tests is not something our build system
knows about at present, but Eclipse 2.0 makes it very easy.
Fixed a few compiler errors due to imports I'd forgotten.
