Hello everybody,
If you wonder how you can help the libwpd project, but you think that you cannot code in C++, read following.
During the libwpd-0.8.x cycle, I would like to clear a little bit our mapping of WP charsets to unicode. Nowadays, we have quite a good system, but it is a little bit outdated. Many of WP characters point into the "Private use area" of unicode definition (from E000 to F8FF). The rule in this area is a freedom. Every vendor can map into these unicode range whatever she wants.
The point would be to revisit our charset conversion and point out which characters are not coverted correctly along with their unicode number.
The unicode charts can be found on http://www.unicode.org/charts/
It is a lengthy work, but very necessary. If you feel like helping, please send to this list:
a) WP charset
b) WP character number
c) unicode number of this character.
Each newly corrected character is precious.
