'Re-open with encoding' is great but the encodings list is quite short. UTF-32 is not even there. [...]
True... this is "what I use" and figured we have iconv if more would really be needed. But I'll look into allowing a more full list (with some customizable filters to not clutter the menu/list)
An other little problem I have is the drawing of CJK characters. These characters are wider than latin characters and as they are drawn today in TextMate, a character may overlap with the previous and next one. In terminals, this is generally handled by making them double-width. [...] If you want any screenshot, example, just ask.
I don't think I'll be on this one right away, but eventually it should mimic how the Terminal does it -- at that time, I may request that screenshot! :)
For the ligatures problem, if it has not been corrected in the sources yet, it's quite easy to correct:
Thanks a lot! I've been looking real hard to find that info!
[...] but as TextMate's goal is not seem to be a multi-lingual editor... (but it would be great if it could at least manage the CJK characters well ;-))
Yes to both. The goal for a first release was really just working with code and markup in fixed width fonts. Though eventually I would like to make it into a full unicode conforming editor.
Last thing: having a direct link to http://lists.macromates.com/mailman/listinfo or at least to the archives of the mailing list (http://one.textdrive.com/pipermail/textmate/) on TextMate's web page would really be great. I only found it after subscribing to the mailing list, in the mail asking for confirmation.
We do have a direct link to the archives (below the signup box), but it wasn't initially there.
I'll see if we can't also add a link to the list info.
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
Kind regards Allan
