do you think the necessary scripts for those languages was only displayable once GUI web browsers were developed?
they're all delivered to browsers today as text (unicode certainly covers all of them simultaneously, an improvement on their situation in the 90s). i believe there are sufficient fonts to display them in text mode (gnu unifont would do at least a half-assed job of it, all in one font).
what do you think is missing?
- georgia_peach 5y agoTurn off antialiasing for it, render it at the original size, and GNU Unifont is beautiful.
- anthk 5y agoGNU Unifont at size 32 on 1920x1080 it's great.
- marttt 5y agoThanks for this. I quite like how Russian characters look in GNU Unifont: https://web.archive.org/web/20180321021749/http://czyborra.com/unifont/ https://web.archive.org/web/20180321021749/http://czyborra.c... For my own needs, I prefer IBM VGA 8x16 from The Ultimate Oldschool PC Font Pack: https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/font?ibm_vga_8x16 https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/font?ibm_vga_... Might try GNU Unifont now, though.
