Since Mozilla has its own conversion table. It need to support HKSCS or GCCS ver.2 which enable Hongkong char to display properly. It is widely used in government and many Hongkong local site. Please add this to mozilla. Thx..
ie_hsc@engsvr.ust.hk- can you add it to mozilla ? I am not sure HKSCS is a widely accept spec yet. Mark it M20 and wait for developer from the net to add it for mozilla. Which application support HKSCS as today ?

As of application support, it isnt quite a problem for windows. Since it can map to user define area of Big5 encoding. It really isnt a solution. For mozilla, i believe it have it owns mapping table. Making it incompatible. eg. it will strip off the the range outside standard Big5.

Mark it as moz0.9 this will increase the size of the ucvtw converter dll (about 35 K) . Should we do this only after we do the converter download on demand work ? should we package this into a different dll and different xpi file ? cc yokoyama and bstell.

I applied the patches. The size of ucvtw.dll increased from 121k to 165k (debug build), still smaller than ucvtw2.dll which is 233k.

So how can I test, are there pages in HKSCS?
I found a Microsoft site to enable HKSCS. http://www.microsoft.com/hk/hkscs/ But its comment is scary, I am not sure if I want to install it. > This package is intended to be used only by Hong Kong users > to input and output HKSCS. > Installing this package may affect private use characters > on the target machine. > Non-HKSCS users are strongly discouraged to install the package. Anyway, I still have not found pages encoded with HKSCS.

Thanks for the test data. In that file, after 0x8BF2, line breaks after each character, it there any meaning for that?
r=ftang. I think we will have problem in the C6XX and F9XX range after this check in. Due to a limitation in the helper code, the HKSCS characters in C6XX and F9XX range won't be convert correctly . Please open another bug and assign to me. erik- can you sr this one ?
I have asked Gavin (Gavin.Ho@compaq.com) for source files of hkscs.uf and hkscs.ut, so we can maintain. Also asked where did he get the codepage number 951.
Please ask Gavin whether x-big5-hkscs is necessary. sr=erik
The range overwrap issue mentioned by Frank was filed as bug 73710.
Checked in. Please set up environment to test (try either site below). http://www.digital21.gov.hk/eng/hkscs/download.html http://www.microsoft.com/hk/hkscs/ Use 03/21/01 14:44 attachment as a test data. Adding msanz to cc, can IQA test this? Currently, QA Contact is ie_hsc@engsvr.ust.hk.

Yuying, is this something you can verify?

I wanted to verify this on UNIX/Linux environment but it seems that there was no change in gfx/nsFontMetricsGTK.cpp. Is this correct? Solaris is going to provide HKSCS locale in next version and want to use "hkscs-1" fonts, like -sun-ming-light-r-normal--18-160-75-75-c-160-hkscs-1 and I'm thinking definitions are needed in nsFontMetricsGTK.cpp. Should I file new bug (or RFE) for this?
Katakai san, please file a new bug for the UNIX problem.
