The textcomp Unicode support file "ts1enc.dfu" defines 0x204E Low Asterisk
as \textasteriskcentered. LyX should follow suit.
The ASTERISK OPERATOR (correctly) maps to the same macro,
the "deprecated" tag marks the upstream mapping as preferred choice.
The Thai tis620-0 input encoding is supported via the inputenc "plug in"
(data) file tis620.def from https://ctan.org/pkg/babel-thai.
We can handle it like the other contributed input encodings, e.g.,
Greek (ISO 8859-7) and the several Cyrillic encodings from
http://www.ctan.org/pkg/latex-cyrillic.
Under TeXLive 2018, the input encoding defaults to utf8, if there is no call to
inputenc. The added test file fails without the patch but compiles fine, if the
file "tis620.def" is present in the TEXPATH.
utf8-plain (Unicode (utf8 XeTeX)) is a power-user setting
for the input encoding with two use cases:
a) setup of system fonts or
b) setup of input encoding supportuser preamble
in the document class or user preamble.
The test file is an example for use case b.
iconv fails, if a nomenclature inset contains an uncodable character
This led to failure of the indonesian UserGuide in the attic.
Fix it there and add a minimal, specific test sample instead.
Encoding cp858 is only supported by some iconv variants
Gnu iconv only supports it, if configured with "--enable-extra-encodings"
(see https://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/)
Maybe drop support or add a configuration check?
The xfrac package is the "state of the art" for "split-level" (nice) fractions.
Character replacements look consistent, scale properly and fit in the line.
Fixes#5220.
Test unicodesymbols for most supported input encodings with Kornel's addition to ctests.
Add required "forces" to unicodesymbols:
* utf8x does not support all characters supported by LyX
* several 8-bit encodings map characters to math-mode commands - force replacement in text-mode so that LyX can wrap them in \\ensuremath.
Fix a misalignment (wrong replacements) in the Cyrillic Unicode block.
Use \\mathscr for Mathematical Script characters in Mathematical Alphanumeric Characters (in line with the characters in other unicode blocks.
Rename the directory for test samples "export/latex/Unicode-characters" to "export/latex/unicodesymbols". This matches the purpose to test the lib/unicodesymbols file.
First run of Kornels patch for tests with all input encodings in lib/encodings.
Remove redundant sample files - keep only one sample and change the input encoding in the test script.
Put remaining failing test in "unreliableTests" for later sorting...
Move them to a subdir, ignore this subdir for other tests.
Dedicated test samples for LaTeX-specific problems don't give additional value if tested for loading, conversion, or other exports.
