[Reposted from A12n-collaboration. This concerns keyboard layouts for Unicode fonts on Macintosh designed by Eric Rasmussen to facilitate typing of extended Latin characters used in African languages:] [Retransmit d' A12n-collaboration." Ce message concerne des dispositions de clavier conçues par Eric Rasmussen pour utilisation avec polices unicodes sur Macintosh afin de faciliter l'emploi des caractères latins étendus qui font partie des orthographies des langues africaines. I have finally posted the first of my Latin Extended keyboards at: http://homepage.mac.com/chinesemac/LatinExtended/index.html These are Mac OS keyboards, so the compression format used for the downloads is SIT. I went with a minimum set of African characters, leaving out a number of IPA characters in Hartell: small alpha, small u with stroke, small turned v, and small r fishhook. [Note that u with stroke and r with stroke can be composed using dynamic input.] I also left out a number of IPA characters already adopted into Unicode for African (with capitals in Latin Extended-B): upsilon and t with retroflex hook, neither of which are in Hartell. I added the modifier letter small raised w (U+02B7), which is used for Twi. There will be a version 1.1.1, so additions are still possible... Thanks for your help, Eric --
