Mosaic-L10N: Changes

From L10N-2.0 to 2.4.0 (92/04/14)

Accept-Language: request header: Supporting the language-preference feature of the HTTP by using Accept-Language: request header. You can retrieve a document or voice in your preferable language from the same URL. (see here)
Fill-Out Form with various language: SELECT tag in Fill-Out Form with various language is partially supported.
Font specification with X resources: You could choose your favorite font for each language by X resources. Font is not hard-coded any more. (see here)
Supporting HZ-encoding for Chinese: Mosaic-L10N now supports HZ-encoding for Chinese.
Thanks to ioi@graphics.cis.upenn.edu (Ioi Kim Lam).
Bi-directionality support: Supporting bi-directional text like in Hebrew. Currently, both Visual and Implicit (see RFC-1556) directionality can be handling. But implementation of Implicit directionality is still immature. Explicit directionality is not supported yet. (see here)
Handling both GL and GR font: Mosaic-L10N now decides whether a font is GL-encoded or GR-encoded automatically. For example, it is not necessary to have GL-encoded font for Chinese (GB), now. You can use GR fonts along with cxterm.
Font caching mechanism: Mosaic-L10N now do font caching. You can switch among documents in different languages surprisingly quickly than previous release.
Cut & Paste for C/J/K texts: You can now Cut & Paste C/J/K texts in Document Window.
Thanks to youchan@se.fujitsu.co.jp (Youichi Watanabe).
Japanese PostScript printing: Japanese documents can be printed out in PostScript format. Thanks to kazu@ftk.fujitsu.co.jp and youchan@se.fujitsu.co.jp (Youichi Watanabe).
(I have neither knowledge nor printer for PostScript in other languages, so this feature is currently limited to Japanese. But I think it may be possible in case of other languages.)
Quitting HKU-Big5 support: Many people suggested to me that HKU-Big5 is a private modification of Big5 and should not be used any more. So I quit supporting it.
