Unicode and Multilingual Editors and Word Processors for Mac OS X

Introduction

Mac OS X 10 did not originally include support for as many languages and scripts as Mac OS 9. Mac OS X 10.1 supported Central European, Cyrillic and Japanese, and Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese were made available as downloads. Mac OS X 10.2 introduced support for Arabic, Devanagari, Greek, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Hebrew and Thai scripts. Mac OS X 10.3 introduced support for Armenian, Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics and Cherokee scripts.

Some of jEdit's features include: Written in Java, so it runs on Mac OS X, OS/2, Unix, VMS and Windows. Built-in macro language; extensible plugin architecture. Hundreds of macros and plugins available. Only available for Mac users; jEdit. As the name suggests, jEdit is a text editor written in Java, specifically for programmers. The GUI is built on the Swing toolkit, and offers users the ability to build their own ultra-powerful IDE—thanks to open source plugins. As a Java-scripted editor, it runs across Windows, Mac, Unix, and VMS. JEdit for Mac, free and safe download. JEdit latest version: Powerful Cocoa based text editor for programmers.

The Editors listed below are those that are available in versions designed for Mac OS X; other editors that are designed for Mac OS 9 can be used in Classic mode.

BBEdit

BBEdit is a text editor for OS X 10.3.9 or later that includes extensive support for producing HTML files and program code, as well as plain text files. It can edit text in several left-to-right languages and scripts, including double-byte scripts, and it supports the Mac’s Unicode keyboards. Older versions allowed only one font to be active at a time, and so only one non-Latin script plus unaccented Latin characters could be displayed properly simultaneously, but it can now display multiple scripts simultaneously. It can use any installed Web browser for WYSIWYG preview. Files that contain multiple scripts can be opened and saved with UTF-8 or UTF-16 character encoding.

HTML tags and attributes can be typed directly, or selected from a floating palette or a menu, and are shown in user-selectable colours. BBEdit includes an HTML syntax checker, and a link checker for links within your site.

It is produced by Bare Bones Software, Inc. and costs US $199.00 plus shipping. A trial copy that can be used for 30 days is available.

This means that it can make full use of the large Unicode fonts that are designed for Windows, such as Arial Unicode MS and Bitstream CyberBit, as well as the Unicode fonts supplied with Mac OS X. It can also use Apple’s Unicode Hex Input keyboard driver, which allows you to enter any Unicode character by holding down the Options key while typing the 4-character hexadecimal character reference, e.g. 0E05 for the Thai character kho khon.

Word:mac v. X

Microsoft’s Word:mac v. X word processor for Mac OS X 10.1 uses the same file format as Word 97, Word 2000 and Word 2002 for Windows, but cannot read multi-script documents from Word for Windows. Multiple scripts are retained if native Word:mac v. X documents are transferred to Word 97, Word 2000 or Word 2002, and when Unicode (UTF-16) text and HTML (UTF-8) pages are produced.

Word:mac v. X does not support Apple’s Extended Roman, Unicode Hex Input or Vietnamese Unicode keyboards. It can see Windows Unicode fonts, but it can only use them for Latin script.

Word:mac v. X has a dialog box for picking characters from large fonts, accessed from Symbol.. on the Insert menu. However, it does not show Unicode ranges and it does not work with all fonts (e.g. Lucida Grande contains Latin Extended-A, Latin Extended Additional, Greek and Cyrillic characters, but only MacRoman characters are shown).

Word:mac v. X can be used as a WYSIWYG HTML editor for producing multi-script Web pages. To save an existing Word document as a Web page:

On the File menu, select 'Save as Web Page..'.
In the Save: Microsoft Word dialog box, click the 'Web Options..' button.
In the Web Options dialog box, click the 'Encoding' tab.
From the pop-up list of encodings, select 'Unicode (UTF-8)'.
Click 'OK' to close the Web Options dialog box.
In the Save: Microsoft Word dialog box, specify a name (Save As:) and location (Where:) for your HTML file.
To make your HTML file as small as possible, click the 'Save only display information into HTML' radio button. This option is recommended for a page to go on a Web site.
Alternatively, to retain the entire structure of the Word document, click the 'Save entire file into HTML' button. This option creates much larger files that include all of the special Word formatting that is normally not supported in Web pages.
Click the 'Save' button to save your document and close the Save: Microsoft Word dialog box.

To set UTF-8 as the default encoding for all HTML files produced in Word:

On the Word menu, select 'Preferences..'.
In the Preferences dialog box, click 'General' in the list of categories.
Click the 'Web Options..' button on the General page.
In the Web Options dialog box, click the 'Encoding' tab.
From the pop-up list of encodings, select 'Unicode (UTF-8)'.
Click 'OK' to close the Web Options dialog box.
Click 'OK' to close the Preferences dialog box.

To create a multi-script Web page that is not based on an existing Word document:

On the File menu, select 'Project Gallery..'
in the Gallery, click 'Blank Documents' in the Category list.
Click the large 'Web Page' icon, and then click 'OK' to close the Gallery.

The Formating Palette allows you to format your text. To type in other scripts or languages, select the appropriate keyboard and if necessary also choose an appropriate font.

If you need to work directly on the HTML code, open the View menu and select HTML Source. To revert to the normal WYSIWYG view, open the View menu and select Exit HTML Source.

Word 2004

Microsoft’s Word 2004 word processor for Mac OS X 10.2.8 onwards uses the same file format as Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002 and Word 2003 for Windows, and is the first version of Word for Mac to make use of the operating system’s Unicode support, including the Unicode keyboards and fonts.

It is supplied with a range of Unicode fonts that enable it to display many multi-script documents from Word for Windows. However, it does not support editing of right-to-left scripts (e.g. Arabic and Hebrew) or complex scripts such as Thai and the Indian languages. The Insert Symbol dialog box does not show all fonts or all characters, but Apple’s Character Palette can be used instead.

A 30-day trial version of Microsoft Office 2004, which includes Word 2004, is available from Office 2004 Test Drive.
