Re: Emacs 22 Carbon+AppKit port and Emacs 23 Mac port

[YAMAMOTO Mitsuharu]

The ninth update of the Carbon+AppKit port is now available from

    ftp://ftp.math.s.chiba-u.ac.jp/emacs/emacs-22.3-appkit-1.9.tar.gz

** Improvements

*** When delete-selection-mode is enabled, then the active region is
hidden while the marked text is being shown (so "Reverse conversion"
in Kotoeri looks better).

*** The current cursor position may be returned for a character
position query for text input even if the marked text is not displayed
or handled at the Lisp level yet (so auxiliary windows in AquaSKK 4
are placed better.)


The fourth update of the Mac port, which is experimental/hackers-only,
is also available from

    ftp://ftp.math.s.chiba-u.ac.jp/emacs/emacs-23.1-mac-1.94.tar.gz

In addition to the improvements above, it has the following changes:

** Fixed bugs

*** Kill/yank in tty frames causes an error.

** Improvements

*** SVG images are supported via WebKit on Mac OS X 10.4 and later.
If you have librsvg installed and you want to use WebKit for rendering
SVG images, then you need to specify --without-rsvg as a configure
option.

*** The Mac font backend driver now supports `get_variation_glyphs'
also on Mac OS X 10.4 and earlier.

*** Ideographic Variation Sequences (IVSes) also work for Hiragino
fonts, which don't have a format 14 (Unicode Variation Sequences)
subtable in their cmap table.


The attached screenshot shows a comparison of IVS support for Hiragino
among Emacs 23.1 Mac port (top), Safari, and TextEdit (bottom) on Mac
OS X 10.6.1.  Note that TextEdit on Mac OS X 10.6 can display
different glyphs for variants if you use some font containing a format
14 subtable in its cmap table.
