d8657abd44 ACIP font shrinking as in {KA (GA)} is now supported. 2003-09-07 18:30:59 +00:00

07e360d9a8 The ACIP {NYA%} is supported. {NYAo} and {NYAx} are confusing to me,
because I don't know which glyphs o and x correspond to.  For that
reason, they cause ERRORs.

The proposed THDL Extended Wylie ~X and X is now used for U+0F35 and
U+0F37 respectively.

1982c5847b Jskad's converter now has ACIP-to-Unicode built in. There are known
bugs; it is pre-alpha.  It's usable, though, and finds tons of errors
in ACIP input files, with the user deciding just how pedantic to be.
The biggest outstanding bug is the silent one: treating { }, space, as
tsheg instead of whitespace when we ought to know better.

1afb3a0fdd ACIP->Unicode, without going through TMW, is now possible, so long as
\, the Sanskrit virama, is not used.  Of the 1370-odd ACIP texts I've
got here, about 57% make it through the gauntlet (fewer if you demand
a vowel or disambiguator on every stack of a non-Tibetan tsheg bar).

4581a2d8ab Improved the ACIP scanner (the part of the converter that says, "This
is a correction, that's a comment, this is Tibetan, that's Latin
(English), that's Tibetan inter-tsheg-bar punctuation, etc.)  It now
accepts more real-world ACIP files, i.e. it handles illegal
constructs.  The error checking is more user-friendly.  There are now
tests.

Added some tsheg bars that Peter E. Hauer of Linguasoft sent me to the
tests.  Many thanks, Peter.  I still need to implement rules that say,
"This is not Tibetan, it must be Sanskrit, because that letter doesn't
take a MA prefix."

2b59d9838d I now have a function that takes as input a String of ACIP and breaks
up that String into tsheg bars, punctuation, etc., while finding
errors.  I've tested it some, but I'm not yet committing the tests.

Next step: a converter that takes an ACIP file as input and outputs
TMW+Latin.
