[REBOL] Proportional Spaced Fonts
From: louisaturk:coxinet at: 23-Oct-2002 6:44
Hi rebols,
Let's say we have two lines of text---one of Greek and one an English
translation---, and that we want to line up the words of the translation
directly under the Greek words.
Bibloj genesewj Ihsou Cristou , uiou Dabid , uiou Abraam .
Book generation Jesus Christ , son David , son Abraham .
With fixed width fonts (such as Courier) this is easy. But how is it done
with proportional spaced fonts? Also, how do you figure the spacing of the
Greek accent and breathing marks which are actually another character as is
seen when viewed without the appropriate Greek font?
Bi,bloj gene,sewj VIhsou/ Cristou/( ui`ou/ Dabi.d( ui`ou/ VAbraa,m=C5
Book generation Jesus Christ, son David, son Abraham .
Of course, I realize that there are problems in even showing you this
problem, as different email clients are going to display this message
differently---probably radically so.
