Hi everyone,
I\'m happy to share a new project I currently work on: CERE, This is a CJK characters text reader on TI84+CE.
Reading CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) characters on a graphing calculator has always been a challenge due to the massive size of font glyphs and limited RAM.Hence, I start the CERE project.
Here is some feature:
dynamic fonts: instead of save 2MB+ font file on calculator, my solution is use a Python tool to scan the source text and generates a compact appvar contain font glyphs(16x16 bitmap) only required
easy resume: autosave reading position and allow users to set a new bookmark(by press VARS key)
screen shots:



since this was designed for chinese users, the interface is entirely in chinese. if anyone is interested in this project, i\'ll try to add korean and japanese.
i just released version 1.1, with some critical bug fix.

:O
Wow, nice work on this!
I'm wondering what language you're using...

If you’re asking about the code,I used c.
If you mean my natural language it’s Chinese

Looks nice
I know from my work (I work as test engineer, so need to sometimes do some localization verification/validation) that Chinese and Japanese share some glyphs, while Korean has completely own set of glyphs, even though I can't read or speak any of the languages.

Just out of curiosity, is your current implementation covering both simplified and traditional Chinese, or just one of those? I know that in some areas one of those is used and eventhough simplified has word simplified in name, it still contains lot of glyphs.

Thanks for your feedback! To answering your question,my tool supports both simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese
In technically, the convert tool scans the text and generates a custom indexed font. It only the required characters into 16x16 bitmaps and stores them in an appvar, because of its a direct index to bitmap mapping it can handle any writing system that fits in a static 16x16 grid (CJK,Latin,Cyrillic).this solution don’t work dynamic shaping writing system, like Arabic

Hi Ziyang! This program looks great:) I recommend you to try to change the convertor into web page instead, because I use MacOs that isn't compatible with exe files. By the way my native language is Chinese too, but my first language is English.
