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
