What is ILX ? + ILX is th abber of "Internationalized and Localized X-window system". + Its main goal is to provid a internationalized and localized application + envoriment for X-window system. + +2. Why ILX ? + The reason that UNIX like operation systems can't compitete with M$ Windows + are that: + a) UNIX like systems lack GUI applications which make non-programmers + diffcult to use. + b) UNIX like systems are not internationalized nor localized enough + which makes it even harder for non-English speaking users to use + it. + +3. What will ILX have ?? + ILX have three major steps, and for each major step there are some minor + stages to be complete. + Step 1. In the first step we have to make the more well avaliable + True Type font displayed by the X server. Most of easten fonts + are provided by the font vendors in True Type font format. In + order to provide a working True Type Font server we have to + complete the fellowing stages: + a) ttfdump: A true type font dumping program to explore the + definition of a true type font. + b) ttfshow: A true type font showing program to provide a test + bed for true type font rasterization. + c) fileview: Viewing a non ASCII file in the specified + encoding scheme. This program further explore the capacity of + the ttf rasterizer. + d) ttfedit: A true type font editor lets users to make their + new true type fonts.(optional) + e) ttfs: True Type Font Server, a font server comform to X11R6 + font server protocols which can provide rasterizing True Type + fontsas well as other font format currently prrovided. + + Step 2. In the second step we have to provide a easily extened Input + an Output Server for localized characters to be inputed and + displayed. + + Step 3. In the third and final step we will provide a fully + internationalized and localized working enviroment, which + includes a CDE like desk top manamger, a document editor, + or even other things like spreadsheet or database mananger.
