'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.
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.
DefaultStyledDocument, and another consisting entirely of static utility
methods for processing Tibetan text. Moved TibetanDocument.DuffData
into its own class.
I think this makes things a bit more transparent, and gets us a little closer to
making clean use of Swing.
I cleaned things up a bit, and I've made logging optional since I don't yet
trust the code fully.
A Wylie underscore at the end of a line is worth looking into further, at the
very least.
is basically that we use our own special ViewFactory, with a new
subclass of LabelView (the view RTFEditorKit uses for the nitty
gritty) that is aware of Tibetan.
There are a couple of nasty hacks still here, and Swing's
documentation for doing what I did was quite poor. I searched the web
for hours, read the Javadocs and the tutorials, and consulted a Swing
reference book, but I still don't have tremendous confidence in this
solution. If it fundamentally doesn't work, though, we have to define
our own first-class Document, Element hierarchy, ViewFactory, Views,
and EditorKit. So let's hope it *does* work fundamentally.
I can't say for sure if this even works, as I have yet to run this
code on a machine where Jskad works properly. I had major trouble
installing the TMW fonts on Linux, and have yet to resolve it, even
after verifying via xlsfonts that the fonts were installed and then
changing TibetanMachineWeb.java to look for them. Because I haven't
tested this yet, a lot of nasty code is tagged 'DLC' and commented
out.
