Autoinstall for fonts
by Daniel O'Donnell 23 Oct '04

23 Oct '04

Hello all, Does anybody know of an adaptable auto-install program that would install fonts when a CD is loaded? I'm looking for something that ideally would be open source, work equally well in most environments (e.g. Win, Mac, Linux). Its main function would be to install a font a project needs and, if possible, start a web-page up in the user's default browser. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel.

Something for us? Not really a standards-based question, but I'm sure a fairly common problem. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel.

Character reference conversions: help?
by Daniel O'Donnell 07 Oct '04

07 Oct '04

Hello all, I need some advice on converting Unicode character references. Currently, am encoding character references in what I believe is UCS-4 format (Universal Character Set). This means they look like this in my source files: ႐ I want to import xhtml documents into Open Office, which seems to need UTF-8 encoding (I don't know what UTF stands for). Does anybody know of a filter that might do the conversions for me? Or have advice on using open office (Windows version) … [View More]

For some reason everything seems to have crashed. I've left an urgent message for the boffins, but they begin work in 30 minutes. Sorry, but there seem still to be a few bugs in the system. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel. (403) 329-2377 Fax.

Re: [dm-l] Character reference conversions: help?
by Dieter Köhler 05 Oct '04

05 Oct '04

Hello Dan, You may use my Open XML Editor ("http://www.philo.de/xmledit/") to transcode XML documents from UCS-4 to UTF-8. The editor currently supports a couple of input formats, but only UTF-8 as output format. Loading the document and using the "save as ..." function should do the job. Be careful: just saving the document will replace the original with a UTF-8 version. Note also that this is not a simple character by character transformation. Instead, a model of the XML document … [View More]is internally built and this model is then serialized. This implies that - the transformation might not work if the input XML document is not wellformed, - some additional normalization of the XML document takes place (in particular: whitespace between markup in the XML prolog, i.e. before the first tag, is normalized to line breaks, empty elements are expanded, e.g. <foo/> becomes <foo></foo>, and character references are expanded), - external entities are not transcoded. A step-by-step explanation in German how the transformation from UCS-4 into UTF-8 works is included in my draft about "Zahlen- und Zeichencodierung", available at "http://philo.de/lv/multimedia/codierung.html". Non-German speakers may find some useful links to English Web-pages about this topic there as well.
