Windows 95 doesn't even support Unicode. The level of UI you can draw there is a very small subset of what you can do in say Chrome.
Indeed correct unicode text rendering is one of the difficult problems. It's the same thing that is missing from basically all games. So when people say stuff like games can run at 120fps, how hard can UI be? it's basically the same Windows 95 argument. The UI work being done is a small subset.
- ihatepython 4y agoNot supporting Unicode is a feature for me. I have absolutely no use for Unicode, but it is a constant source of security vulnerabilities.
- vbezhenar 4y agoWhat does it have with GPU rendering? GPU does not support unicode either.
- Strom 4y agoModern GPUs and CPUs are both Turing complete. They both are capable of supporting and indeed do support Unicode software.
