- Version 0.5.0 -
FontiChart displays all unicode glyphs of a font as well as other unicode information. (For further information
about what unicode is have a look at the Unicode Home Page). Best
you get the CyberBit unicode font
from Bitstream. So you have at least one font with more than the
normally available 256 glyps of a standard TT-Font.
You can drag all glyps and drop them to other applications so that you can insert any available character even if they
are not mapped to the keyboard. Or you just can have look what funny glyps are defined in unicode ;-)
Hmm, more to come here next release. But I think it's not that difficult to find out how it works. If you really have
problems, mail me.
This would blow up this document into MB heavyness. So stay tuned what comes along ;-)

Drag & drop of glyphs has the following message entrys:
Data name | Type | Type code | Description |
"text/plain" | data | B_MIME_DATA | an utf8-string, 1-3 bytes, not nullterminated! |
"unicode" | int32 | B_INT32_TYPE | the unicode value, cast this one to uint32!! |
"font_family" | string | B_STRING_TYPE | the font family string |
"font_style" | string | B_STRING_TYPE | the font style string |
"font_size" | float | B_FLOAT_TYPE | the font size |
The entry that seems to be used by BeIDE and StyledEdit is the MIME-type. Don't
really know if the others are useful or if there's a standard entry name for them. So don't rely on
them in future releases. Perhaps they change. Input please!
