OTOH, if I use any of all those Macintosh OS9-born CE fonts (like
HelveticaCE) for Czech characters in TextEdit, chars are alas
encoded the obsolete way (just their in-font codes, or rather
in-script codes, are used), and Office can't read the result.
Yes, this is what I described in the previous mail. Cocoa is
encoding it in MacOS scripts (and it is NOT obsolete). The file
should open correctly with MS Office on Mac. On Windows, your
friends can try installing MacOS script converters.
Well, if you have to install script converters on Windows just to
be able to read something written in MacOS, while with a Unicode
encoding you would not need do this, I think an argument can be
made that this non-Unicode encoding IS in fact obsolete.
Maybe the company that got rid of serial ports, floppies etc.
first, should also be the first company that consequently uses
Unicode when *writing* textual data?
