* A revision to the font, Unicode, Tedit, and other modules to implement the MCCS character coding as the standard for internal text strings. MCCS is a variant of XCCS with arrows switched with circumflex/underscore and $ switched with currency, and allows for additional code assignments over time. :MCCS replaces :XCCS as the default external format, especially for source files. The file XCCS is removed in favor of the file MCCS, which includes the XCCS external format for backward compatibility.
* This includes a single Medley-font formatted font file for each of the family/size/face display fonts. The glyph assignments correspond to the MCCS character encoding (except for fonts with idiosyncratic encodings--Hippo, Symbol). All charsets from legacy font files are included in each file, and the character sets and glyphs in each file have also been extended by offline coercion from related families (e.g. Glyphs not in legacy Terminal are taken from legacy Modern). There should be fewer black boxes, and character-display shouldn't change when you switch fonts.
* The Unicode mapping tables have been redefined to set up correspondences between Unicode and MCCS, not XCCS. Separate XCCS to/from MCCS mapping functions are provided in the file MCCS; they are no longer included in INTERPRESS.
* TEDIT converts characters in legacy fonts to their new MCCS codes as it reads formatted files, marks the file as MCCS compatible and preserves the new codes on writing.
* Default keyboard assignments produce the MCCS uparrow and leftarrow for shift-6 and shift-hyphen, use Function-6 for circumflex and Function-10 for underscore.
See documentation in FONTCODECHANGES.TEDIT MCCS.TEDIT MEDLEYFONTFORMAT.TEDIT in docs/internal, and library/UNICODE.TEDIT.
* Add back character sets that had characters outside 16 bit plane
* Update XCCS-353=SYMBOLS3.TXT
Update title line
* Update UNICODE.TEDIT
* Fix charset names
* Reorganized the tables, added requested interfaces
* Use a single hash
* Top-level array branch beats a single hash
* cleanup UNICODE.TRANSLATE macro
* Fix slug in outcharfn
* Remove a stray line
* Another try, would work for raw
* Remove duplicates, redo hashing
* Getting complete maps in both directions
* Initializing
* Only the latest file versions
* Add back gothic mappings
* UNICODE: a few additional Tedit helpers, revised documentation
* New JIS files (courtesy of Peter)
* Updated mapping files (courtesy of Peter Craven)
* UNICODE: changed SHOULDNT to ERROR
* Updated all ISO8859 and Vendor Unicode mappings from current Unicode.org information
* John Cowan says that East Asia is obsolete
* Delete obsolete file
this will give us a stable point on which we can make changes in coordination via git.
