Robertb, I (and some of my colleagues) plan to equip with shiny new ebook reader. Thing is, I'm not happy with the multilingual support as of now, it is either missing or done not completely okay. Just 2 things must be present in the os:
1. Full unicode fonts - I think most readers should have them
2. System setting of what encoding to use to convert ansi text to unicode, one of the:
874 — Thai
1250 — East European Latin
1251 — Cyrillic
1252 — West European Latin
1253 — Greek
1254 — Turkish
1255 — Hebrew
1256 — Arabic
1257 — Baltic
1258 — Vietnamese
This will allow proper reading of both ansi and unicode files, properly displaying file names from the card, etc. On windows all this is done with 1 line of code: calling MultiByteToWideChar, I doubt it will be much harder on linux.
Are there plans of adding such support in the near future? Perhaps the new astak readers on the horizon?
Thanks
