Message-ID: <1241@bsu-cs.UUCP> Date: Thu, 8-Oct-87 13:50:04 EDT Article-I.D.: bsu-cs.1241 Posted: Thu Oct 8 13:50:04 1987 Date-Received: Sun, 11-Oct-87 08:39:49 EDT Distribution: na Organization: CS Dept, Ball St U, Muncie, Indiana Lines: 26 I am posting this message for a friend of a friend. I know next to nothing about apple systems, myself, but my friend's friend is trying to write some educational software that requires displaying data on the screen of an Apple ][e using the ipa (international phonetic alphabet). The question is: Can he do this, and if so, how? I am aware that different typefaces are available for the Mac, and that it is not excessively difficult to more or less plug them in and just use them. Is anything comparable available for the ][e? Is there any way to use multiple character sets on the screen, or would this have to be done with bit-mapped graphic techniques? Has anyone out there in netland had any experience with anything remotely comparable such as displaying Russian characters on the screen or the like? Does anyone know of any commercial packages if PD is not available? If alternate character sets are available, can they simply be loaded and used, or would he have to incorporate the characters into his source code? (I don't even know what language he intends to write his program in.) Even if you consider answers to these questions to be of sufficient general interest to be worth posting to the net, I would greatly appreciate getting any answers by email, since I do not normally read this group. I thank you and my friend's friend thanks you. -- Paul Neubauer UUCP: !{iuvax,pur-ee,uunet}!bsu-cs!neubauer
