A month ago we were having a discussion of characters used for Cakchiquel, and I posted a web page discussing these in current usage. Michael complained to me...
I tried it twice, and it ticked around a bit, then displayed an entirely blank page. Peter, please distill your document to PDF and distribute the URL so it...
... Sorry, there's a problem with the content management system. I think our admin will have it fixed later this evening. ... I'll make a pdf when I have a...

There was an update to the content-management system for our web site late yesterday morning, and it introduced a bug for certain pages that caused a blank...
I readily confess to being someone who can all too easily say how awful things are (or are becoming). Although some awful things did happen a long way from...
Perhaps the question is not easy to answer. Korean (hangul) seems to me to be a[n] "hybrid", in a way, between logographic (correct term?) and phonetic ...
... There's (almost) nothing logographic about Korean writing. Officially, neither Korea has taught the Chinese characters for more than fifty years (and most...
Animated: Please, no. Web pages have far too many annoying non-stop looped animated ads. Text would be even worse. However, afaik, sometimes a different color...
It's not especially rare to have on-the-fly adjustment of word wrapping in a text editor. For instance, Metapad, a very likable Notepad replacement, adjusts...
Some years ago, before the .com bubble, a Japanese company put on the market a wrist computer called the Ruputer. What with extremely-severe restrictions on...
... Sure. They report that upon encountering an unfamiliar character they can almost always identify it right away on the basis of the radical and the...
... It's a language that allows you to state algorithms (programs) that describe the details of glyphs. By giving these algorithms parameters, you can create...
... Imagine the horribly unreadable letters you'd receive from your friends if such functionality become commonplace. (I wonder, should I introduce him to...
BTW, even for Latin script, it's well known among psycholinguists that study reading that readers can identify individual letters, but that in fluent reading...

The N'ko script, and the movement that is spreading its use is an interesting case of a grassroots movement in Africa that is also taking advantage of ICT. A...
