So, in the bug
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332646 Jungshik Shin points out a few problems with this approach. The test cases also mentioned in the bug fail (a few of them do). I have no idea how bad this is. As far as the UTF-16/1200 entry... I generated the table by looking at what unicode converters we support then discovering the code page that IE uses. I noticed that a table like this (charset name -> codepage) didn't exist, so I just dropped it in this code. (it is a linear search, we can optimize later).

We don't make Internet Explorer a prerequisite, that would be silly. -- Warning: May contain traces of nuts. _______________________________________________ dev-i18n mailing list dev-i18n@... https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-i18n |

Yes, it's silly. Let me rewrite this in a more meaningful way : > It's supported from 98 upward, so as far as that part is concerned > even 2.0 could take it." Fx 1.5 already requires Win98 in the release notes. > BTW : In fact it should also be available on 95 when you first install > Internet Explorer on it" Win95 + IE happens to be the undocumented minimal version to install Firefox 1.0, I don't know about 1.5 _______________________________________________ dev-i18n mailing list dev-i18n@... https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-i18n |
