They can implement an alternative driver to convert IO streams into API calls. And that's how libuv did.

True story: Office maintained its API to be compatible with a plugin which its developer has already bankrupted, and its source code is lost. Because millions of US Government computers are still using them.

However if you use WriteConsoleW, you can actually output both of the "€∑" in ANY code page. The NT console is a matrix of UTF-16 code points, and there is an API to write it. So the question becomes why Java (and many other platforms, like Python) did not use this mechanism. Notably Java's internal encoding of strings is UTF-16 either, this should be a problem.

So, is Microsoft planning another plot against Linux?

And i am curious about can this thing run Wine?

I am curisous about can these ELF programs interop with win32 ones?

I saw C:\windows\system32\bash AFAIK it is a clean-room implementation of Linux APIs. It is native.

The shown one is some variant of Weibei (魏碑).

Most Chinese fonts contain more Han glyphs compared to Japanese, especially traditional. Most traditional Chinese fonts will have over 10,000 glyphs, while simplified are about 7,000. Many foundaries will create a even larger one, with over 22,000 glyphs in a single typeface.

So let's guess, will Microsoft create a Windows-supporting fork, just like Redis?

CoreFX has supported long paths as well as UNC paths recently. I'm just wondering when this improvement will be shipped.

Well, Hack and many other fonts like SCP is a bit too wide for Asians, since they may mix source code with 文字 like this. That's why I made Iosevka [1]. [1]: http://be5invis.github.io/Iosevka/

Thanks for your suggestion. I will fix it in v0.0.5

My current goal is to make it WGL4 compatible. Powerline glyphs will be included later, though I can not test them since I am using VSCode.

The outlines of every character are calculated by source code (the .patel files, compiles to JavaScript).

I switched zepto.js to local directory and replaced $.getJSON with $.get (since .charmap may be sent as application/octet-stream). Is it fixed?

My future work will be focused on spatial balance and glyph coverage. (I'd want to coverage ALL UNICODE POINTS of Latin/Greek/Cyrillic/IPA, thanks to the building script generating them will be much easier than using a conventional font editor: Just add a mark glyph and all combining glyphs using it will be automatically generated.)

Maybe I can make a library or toolchain after this font is almost completed, as a modernized METAFONT, which produces Opentype directly from your generation source code. And well, in that toolchain, i will not use PatEL since this language has not been documented yet.

Mainly Pragmata Pro, and I brought some ideas form DIN and M+ 1m series. All glyphs are exactly 0.5em wide so they can be compatible with 中日韩文字 (CJK characters, where every character are excatly 1em wide).

Nope, it compiles to JavaScript. The compiler is in http://github.com/be5invis/PatEL and it uses Patrisika (http://github.com/be5invis/patrisika) as its backend (which converts S-expression-ish AST into Mozilla AST, and generates JavaScript using Escodegen).

Maybe it is just because WINAPI is different from *nix.

Seriously, I am using it to create an open-source quantum mechanics software, supports both GPU and FPGA acceleration.

Uninstalling Sublime Text 3...

they can do something better: they can put some javascript disabling the hijacked JS like

alert('......'); r_send = function(){}

It reminds me Ma Boyong's novel Silent City, all computers does not have local storage, the network is fast enough to support all users.

Maybe it is just a two-layer panel: first layer hiding the background ...

... and the second layer glowing to show objects.

It will definitely stamp its name on the page of history.

Have you ever used Powershell? All Powershell cmdlets are named in that way, and you also can create aliases.

The large-magnitude international relationship structure is changing. The new cold war is approaching.

Therefore the internet -- built in 1990s -- will be splitted. Again.

There is a serious problem: Most Chinese fonts are HUGE, especially when you want to cover both Simplified and Traditional glyphs. For example, a CFF OTF Chinese font, covering all Han characters in BMP is about 34MB large, while its TTF variant is 12 MB.

And there is still no good automatic way to generate gridfits, though there is one for LGC, and Chrome is moving to Direct2D.

Looks like C# with .NET Native, some sort of.

Playground is interesting.
