While HE8 provides more characters and prevents use of bitmap fonts,
forcing its use may break older installations.
The dedicated test file 012_hebrew_he_HE8.lyx provides an
example for use of HE8 encoded fonts with babel-hebrew.
The "nikud" (vowel) signs, shindot, and shindot are combining Unicode
characters. However, LaTeX-Hebrew expects them as postfix characters, not
accent macros (cf. www.cs.tau.ac.il/~stoledo/Bib/Pubs/vowels.pdf).
If Document>Settings>Language>Encoding is set to any value except "auto" or "default", we
expect the whole document to use this encoding. Wiht encodings from the CJK package, this means
one big "CJK" environment and no encoding switches.
Characters that are not handled by the CJK package need to be "forced" in lib/unicodesymbols.
This is completed for "euc-cn", the others will follow.
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 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.
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...
