Unicode Ranges you might want to copy
by gettimothy 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Hi Folks, You might find the below handy. Fwiw, I have coded the UnicodeRangeBrowser SeasideApp to display all the below (it times out before all display, I will be doing refactor and more development). I am also coding a utility class to provide information such as below in a variety of ways. fwiw, here are my current todo notes for this font information. unifont provide link to the unicode spec. provide browser fonts list. provide squeak fonts list. provide phare fonts list ^self squeak fonts list: what are Variant Selectors ? show gaps in the ranges. provide a link(s) to required fonts that will make a range display. displays on: browser list, squeak, emacs, xterm... status bar...broken, partial, full. use cases for fonts pairs with xyz example superscripts and subscripts The goal is to show what works and to find/test fonts that will support stuff. I am modelling the Seaside app on https://jrgraphix.net/research/unicode_blocks.php But...for each unicode range, I intend to display smalltalk specific helpers on what/where to get fonts for both the browser side and the image side. --------------snip ------------------- (16r000020 asCharacter to: 16r00007F asCharacter) -> 'Basic Latin' (16r0000A0 asCharacter to: 16r0000FF asCharacter) -> 'Latin-1

First iteration of the UnicodeFonts utility is up at http://menmachinesmaterials.com/UnicodeRangeBrowser
by gettimothy 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

http://menmachinesmaterials.com/UnicodeRangeBrowser next steps are to expand the individual font range displays to show info similar to http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fonts_unix.html and http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/latin_1_supplement.html prettify the navigation a bit. for each font...test... does it appear in system/xterm/emacs? does it appear in Squeak/Pharo? does it appear in chrome/brave/edge... I guess I could add some forms for others to contribute...where to store the posts? in a class variable? anyhooo.... the purpose of this is to solidify my knowledge of fonts so that I can solve problems in my XTreams-Parsing project. By doing this, I can systematically eliminate unknown variables..hopefully. Let me know if you all want this submitted to monticello repo. cheers, t

Trying to understand unpreemptive execution/#valueNoContextSwitch
by Thiede, Christoph 01 Feb '21

01 Feb '21

Hi all, in the context of the current Transcript debate [1], I am trying to figure out whether, and why Marcel's proposed implementation of <noContextSwitch> [2] could work. As a minimum example to test #valueNoContextSwitch, I tried the following: "Try to run this infinite loop unpreemptively." [ [[false] whileFalse] valueNoContextSwitch. self inform: #done ] forkAt: Processor userBackgroundPriority. Now I would have expected my image (its UI process) to freeze while p2 is running unpreemptively. But - nothing happens, i.e., all other processes are still activated! I also exchanged valueNoContextSwitch with valueUninterruptably (which I implemented using primitive 123 analogously to <noContextSwitch>) with the same result. Here is my question: Am I misunderstanding the concept of unpreemptive/uninterruptable execution (are those two terms really synonyms?), or is unpreempted execution broken? Assuming the former is the case, what else would be a good and simple way to find out if a process is being run unpreemptively? And do we have any good documentation of this concept - self-documenting tests will be preferred? :-) Best, Christoph [1] http://forum.world.st/Transcript-error-when-forceUpdate-false-td5126397.html [2] http://forum.world.st/The-Inbox-Compiler-mt-454-mcz-td5126568.html

Transcript error when forceUpdate: false (?)

I ran the following in Squeak 5.3: TranscriptStream forceUpdate: false. [ 10000 timesRepeat: [ Transcript show: 'x' ] ] forkAt: 39 When the Transcript window fills up, 'Message not understood' and 'Assertion failure' appear. I'm wondering is this a bug? Thanks.
