I have created a keyboard layout (
ModcapUnicode.keylayout) and a font (
ModcapUnicode.ttf) for a special set of characters with codepoints in the Unicode Private Use Area, U+E620 to U+E67E and U+E6A0 to U+E6FE.
With the ModcapUnicode key layout and font installed and selected, depressing each of the printing keys or spacebar with modifiers (none, shift, option, or option-shift) -- displays one of 190 characters correctly EXCEPT for "2"; depressing the "2" key with no modifiers displays a "1", not a "2".
Nearby stuff is OK:
KEY DISPLAYS
1 1
shf-1 !
opt-1 dnArrow
shf-opt-1 upArrow
2 1 (weird!)
shf-2 @
opt-2 lfArrow
opt-shf-2 lfDblArrow
3 3
shf-3 #
opt-3 lfRtArrow
opt-shf-3 lfRtDblArrow
To try this out:
1. Install the layout in /Library/Keyboard Layouts/;
2. Install the font in /Library/Fonts/
3. Log out and in again to get the layout compiled;
4. Go to the International System Preference and check the checkbox to the left of the Keyboard with Name ModcapUnicode;
5. Launch TextEdit; create a new document; select ModcapUnicode menu item from the menu that (probably) shows an American flag; hit cmd-T to bring up the Font selector; select ModcapUnicode; type "123". Read'em & weep.
Attached is a zip file containing ModcapUnicode.icns, ModcapUnicode.ttf, and ModcapUnicode.keylayout.
Should I have sent this message to some other Apple list?
