<h3>10.10.3: Non-English characters</h3>
Gri relies on the ``standard'' PostScript fonts, however, and it
suffers all limitations of these fonts.
<p>
Gri supports both English and some other European-derived languages,
permitting text with accents on letters. (It does not support
Oriental or other languages at this time.) The accents are supported
by using the so-called ISO-Latin-1 font-encoding scheme (also called
the ISO-8859-1 scheme), and so, from what the author can gather from
his reading, Gri should support various languages from western
European, e.g. English, French, Spanish, Catalan, Basque, Portuguese,
Italian, Albanian, Rhaeto-Romanic, Dutch, German, Danish, Swedish,
Norwegian, Finnish, Faroese, Icelandic, Irish, Scottish, and as well
as Afrikaans and Swahili.
<p>
Gri uses the ISO-Latin-1 font encodings by default, although the
so-called `standard' font-encoding may also be selected with the
`<font color="82140F"><code>Set Font Encoding</code></font>' command (see <a href="Set.html#SetFontEncoding">Set Font Encoding</a>). For more
on font encodings see any book on PostScript fonts ... although the
bottom line is that if you are using accented characters in your work,
then you probably already know about encodings, and if you don't use
accents then you needn't learn about this topic except for the
pleasure of learning about other languages.
<p>
The method of handling accented characters is very simple. If you can type it,
Gri can draw it! It is up to you to determine how to enter the accents. Most
text editors permit this, and it seems fair to say that users who need accented
characters already know how to type them into their editors.
