Re: Restrictive use of IPA...
I use IPA (SIL keyboard layout), but diacritics turn up very ugly because of the font used. Though it seems that certain letter-combining diacritic combinations are automatically converted to precomposed characters on my system when submitting. (Firefox 3.5, Windows XP SP3, if anyone has info.)
Everything else about IPA works fine, though.

Re: Re:
What type of diacritics are you trying to make it handle? Are you trying to do combining diacritics and stuff? It can display all the single ones I've ever thrown at it, though of course they make the letters look teeny and odd. But, I mean, it's Notepad. Nobody claimed it was pretty, just that you can make it work if it's all you have available.Bedelato wrote:Also, Notepad doesn't handle diacritics right. (Try it, you'll see.)

Re: Restrictive use of IPA...
Unilang has an inline X-SAMPA to IPA converter on the reply page. You just type X-SAMPA like you normally would, highlight it, press a button, and voilà, IPA. It uses the same software as this board, so it should be possible to implement here too.
Attention, je pelote !
Re: Re:
Yeah. When I type a combining diacritic in Notepad on XP, it doesn't show up until I hit backspace. But it looks like they fixed it in Vista.eodrakken wrote:What type of diacritics are you trying to make it handle? Are you trying to do combining diacritics and stuff?

WordPad works fine though. Plus you can do formatting, though I'm not sure if cross-platform RTF support is very good...
The only complaint I have with WordPad is every time I paste a string with theta in it, it sets the script to Greek and the font to Arial. It's a real pain to change back.
Also with Vista, the Windows core fonts (Arial, Courier New, etc.) got IPA support. YAY

I'd suggest you to simply bookmark this page, it does the same thing as Unilang's converter, with less hassle.Ulrike Meinhof wrote:Unilang has an inline X-SAMPA to IPA converter on the reply page.

I use it all the time. Except on Unilang, because having an inline converter is so much easier.Renaçido wrote:I'd suggest you to simply bookmark this page, it does the same thing as Unilang's converter, with less hassle.

Someone should come up with a keyboard layout that allows for easy IPA input and upload it

Re: Re:
Hmm, maybe there's something you're not doing right. If it's like a normal layout, install the keyboard, open MKLC, and then load the keyboard. You should be able to save your editions as a different brand-new keyboard.YngNghymru wrote:I have one, vaguely.

Unless it's some program that runs in the background or something, that you can't edit with MKLC.
Re: Restrictive use of IPA...
To repost what I've mentioned before, for those having trouble viewing the IPA characters and diacritics on this board due to the CSS font restrictions, you can create yourself a bookmark and add the following as the page URL:
Just click on the bookmark when you need it. It should work on all major browsers, including Firefox, Chrome, Maxthon 3, Safari, and probably Opera, but not Internet Explorer.
Code: Select all
javascript:(function(){doc=document.getElementsByTagName('td');for(i=0;i<doc.length;i++){doc[i].style.fontFamily='MS Arial Unicode','DejaVu Sans','Everson Mono Unicode','Charis SIL','GF Zemen Unicode','Geez Unicode';}})();
Chances are it's Ryukyuan (Resources).
Re: Restrictive use of IPA...
I think what you mean there is "Arial Unicode MS".
