Subject: inter-client cut/copy paste & Small Caps
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2009 20:08:55 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d2afcfda0903231708t6d67fb88rc56bb3fbcf28ed06@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Can anyone confirm if inter-client copy paste will correctly
yank/insert Small Caps strings into an Emacs buffer from the
clipboard. Is this even possible? On emacsw32 when I yank in Small
Caps'd text from the clibboard I'm getting the text, but without the
caps properties. Other w32 clients are correctly `interpreting' the
SmallCaps text and I'm unable to achieve reasonable translation on
emacs-w32. I will check later this evening on a gnu/linux build if X
clients perform similarly.
While the case can be made that Small Caps are a typographical
convention the char translation I am currently getting is
"FAUX STRING OF SMALL CAPS" => "faux string of small caps"
I would expect a translation to:
"Faux String Of Small Caps"
or even;
"FAUX STRING OF SMALL CAPS"
i.e. something akin to `capitalize-region's or `upcase-region's
behaviour where Emacs can't reasonably interpolate the Small Caps
strings from the Clipboard contents.
Out of the box it doesn't appear that UTF-8 can even accommodate this
behavior in a reasonable way for the Latin scripts , i.e.
block U+1D00 - U+1D7F (Phonetic Extensions) provides _some_ Small
Caps encodings for 14 Latin Letters...
WTF? Obv. this isn't an Emacs problem per se but...
