FlashKard has been replaced by KWordQuiz. Now I found out that unicode contains a combining acute accent (U+0301), but it looks like not beeing supported by KDE/Qt yet. Pasting the examples from http://www.hist.no/~hra/test/komb.html failed. You mean like this "ви́"? Works fine. I'd say WORKSFORME. Thiago, what font are you using? Maybe I need a special font? Notice that the accent isn't over the character. It was put it next to the character. In my opinion, that's not what's needed. What we need is a way to indicate the stressed sylable in any alphabet, without modifying the word. Then add a feature in the testing to allow you to either ignore the additional notation, or test on it. Then again, looks like this should all be moved to KWordQuiz now. In the example webpage above the accents are over the char. Have a look at http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0300.pdf to see the (theoretical) possible combinations. With the default fonts of Mandrake Linux Mozilla displayed the example almost right. Now I have installed Microsofts Corefonts and it works in KWordquiz with Arial (but not Arial Bold), Times and Verdana. Now all I need to find is a keyboard layout that makes adding combining accents in cyrillic easy and works with kxkb. (test: Ива́н Пётрович Павло́в) Interesting.... in some browsers (Firefox) I see the accent next to the character, and in some I see it above the character. I guess it does work. I'll have to try it. Should I mark this as WORKFORME? As discussed this is a matter of selecting an appropriate font (and keyboard layout). |
