Concordance File
A concordance file contains a
concordance(D-
-
2)
between a To and a From
symbol set(D-
-
7).
Smart Characters concordance files concord native symbol sets to the
Combined(4-
9)
symbol set. Smart Characters uses concordance files to display a document using
a native (e.g.,
TrueType(D-
-
8))
font. The
ScConv(D-
-
7)
import filter uses them for document conversion. Making a concordance
file is a major undertaking, but one Smart Characters is ideally suited
for, with multiple window, font, and symbol set capabilities.
Concordance Format
The Smart Characters concordance format is designed to allow for the easy
inspection of a
concordance file(12-
6)
for errors and omissions. Each line has two items, a From
character number(D-
-
2)
or alphabetic code, and its corresponding To character number or
alphabetic code:
<Symbol Set Code><From Entry> (tab) <Symbol Set
Code><To Entry>
Symbol Set Code is the
symbol set index(4-
10)
format code(D-
-
3),
applied using the
Character Format(3-
16)
dialog, or by directly typing the code.
The From and To Entries are a
character number(D-
-
2),
an alphabetic pronunciation, or some other corresponding characters. Entries
where there is no corresponding "other" character should be given a fixed
"unknown" character number (^R0 in the
Combined(4-
9)
symbol set) which displays as a question mark.
