Keep me posted if you get it off the ground. Andy - I wouldn't be surprised if there is some way we can work together in the future. I'm not sure where yet but we should keep in touch. The rest of you (us?) didn't get a chance to say much but good luck with whatever you're up to. Hope to see you all again soon. Bestwishes.

In-Reply-To: <4AC0BFBF3178EF4ABBDF76FA0F98877B026B49@srv3.out-think.co.uk> Message-ID: Thanks, Dale. That was fun. We'll have to do another in a while. - Andy From andy@reportlab.com Sun Nov 5 20:36:05 2000 From: andy@reportlab.com (Andy Robinson) Date: Sun, 5 Nov 2000 20:36:05 -0000 Subject: [Python-uk] Klingons in Colliers Wood Message-ID: It was briefly mentioned at the Python-UK meeting that the Klingon alphabet was in Unicode. Well, I checked; it is one of a number of submitted proposals to go in the surrogate pair area (a hack to add an extra million characters to Unicode), and like all properly documented proposals, the ISO is required to consider it. There are no indications of its acceptance or rejection in the last 3 years. http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n1643/n1643.htm I was very disappointed to see that their writing system is single byte, and has almost our alphabet. However, since Klingon fonts are available, we should be able to output it within ReportLab by the end of the year. Look right at the bottom of http://babel.uoregon.edu/yamada/fonts.html Not sure whether I want to support a million trekkies in our user group. Andy Robinson CEO and Chief Architect, ReportLab Inc.
