Different font SIZES in a Text Editor, based on Script(Alphabet) type (ie. per Unicode Code-Block)
- by fred.bear
Some non-Latin-based scripts(alphabets) have more detail in their glyphs than do the Latin-based-script equivalents, and typically need a larger font to give the same degree of legibility (resolution-wise).
Sometimes, both script types need to be present in the same file.
Notepad++ allows different font SIZES (and colour, etc) courtesy of syntax-highlighting.
This allows me to display larger-fonted non-Latin-based script in a // BIG-FONT comment.
Although this has been quite handy for me in some situations, it is quite limited.
A Word Processor can handle this scenario, but I'm not interested in that.
I want a nice simple(?) plain(?) Text Editor to do it... on a per script-type basis... eg. mixing Latin-1 and Devanagari (and Mandarin, and ...
Such a thing may not exits, but Notepad++ has shown that a simple(?) plain(?) Text Editor is capable of it.
Does anyone know of such a Text Editor?
...Q. Why not a Word Processor?
...A. Because GCC and Python don't like that format! but UTF-8 is fine.
