Content:


O  Introduction:

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 ;-)


O  Usage:

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.


O  Todo:

This would blow up this document into MB heavyness. So stay tuned what comes along ;-)

O  Developer Info:

Drag & drop of glyphs has the following message entrys:

Data nameTypeType codeDescription
"text/plain"dataB_MIME_DATAan utf8-string, 1-3 bytes, not nullterminated!
"unicode"int32B_INT32_TYPEthe unicode value, cast this one to uint32!!
"font_family"stringB_STRING_TYPEthe font family string
"font_style"stringB_STRING_TYPEthe font style string
"font_size"floatB_FLOAT_TYPEthe 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!
