Devawriter Pro

[richmond62]

Should any one be interested in HOW I made Devawriter Pro, I am building a similar program for digitising
Classical Ge'ez (Ethiopic) texts step-by-step "Somewhere else".

I am having fun.

And I should like to point out that there is no code being used that is not identical to any code I might use in LiveCode if I could afford a licence.

The complete stack of Sheba:Makeda SDLC 3 is available for anyone who might be interested, but these LC forums will not let me upload a 15 MB file.

Yep it’s is well know that these forums won’t function as a file server service and for good reason.

If you want freely share, you could just create a new Google account, upload this to Google drive and share a link here.

Just one of many, many free options if your intention is to freely share your app via the forums rather than have people message you for it.

Even better you could create a free GitHub account which would allow you to have version control, free sharing of an app and a free web page, but that is a step up in complexity perhaps.

I tend to keep my downloadable stuff on DropBox.

that is a step up in complexity perhaps

Yes, AND, I am perfectly capable of keeping track of my versions, side-shows, and what-have-you by myself.

There is a proposal in the pipeline for Devanagari glyphs at 11B0A and 11B0B

[DEVANAGARI LETTER SINDHI DDDA and DEVANAGARI VOWEL SIGN AAO respectively],

so, having authored a font containing those 2 glyphs, when I 'call' the first one in LiveCode

why do I end up with this:

which then 'reports back' as glyph 11B0A?

[richmond62]

Aha: bloody silly really, my base font contained a lot of 'linkages' that plays silly buggers: so opened the font up in a font editor and removed all the linkages and now I get what I require:

For those of you who care about this sort of thing, I am just starting the SDLC 7 of my Devawriter Pro software using OXT Lite.

This is planned as a long-term major expansion and refactoring of Devawriter.

And so my seventh System Development Lifecycle begins . . .

. . . realising that both my bespoke font and the code inwith my software package do not contain a whole slew of Devanagari Conjunct Consonants encoding and implementing them is going to be the main thrust of this SDLC.

And so it goeth . . .
