Unicode on AmigaOS3.1

Gilloo · 06 October 2011, 15:07

I spent a few evenings tinkering Topaz 8 to unicode for ucode system.
For now there is Latin-1, Russian, some Greek characters, most mathematical symbols and frames (under testing ...)

http://aminet.net/package/text/bfont/UcodeTopaz8

and the trick to read unicode files and UTF-8
http://aminet.net/package/dev/c/UReader

It should only work AmigaOS3.1 and up, need the ucode package and some glyphs (or thirty megabytes). Just assign ucode: where it is, and it works without changing anything more in the system.
I forgot to say that these marvels run on a 68000

(Minimig !)
So I can say today: No, the Amiga is not dead, you can even use unicode on it.

No thanks, Unicode is totally unnecessary and just bloats everything.

@Minuous, tsss...
You have no idea, because you are english brained. World is not english, World is unicode, my friend. :P

Nice project Gilloo

I'm sure there are more folks around that'll find it useful.
