Hi. > >Ie. >http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-resizing-backgrounds I like this article as is! (I did not know how to prevent backgrounds from repeating alas; this is helpful!) > >http://www.w3.org/International/articles/article-text-size * * * Last Paragraph of "english and chinese are particularly problematic " (Par 8): "For example, will you still be able to fit everything you wanted 'above the fold'? " COMMENT: What do you mean by "above the fold"? It's too much of an idiom I think; not accessible to everyone. * * * Under "complicating factors" "Compound nouns" COMMENT: I do not particularly go for the name "Compound nouns" as a heading--because it did not help me predict what was going to follow it; try maybe, "Text-wrap and Compound Nouns" to make the topic clearer, or even "Text-wrap and phrases that translate into compound nouns", or even "Text-wrap and phrases that translate into a single long word" (ugh but everyone will understand it). * * * ALSO pictures are going to display funny when some text is vertically aligned and some horizontal; some right to left, some left to right, right??? * * * ALSO with the system here (most library computers here in South Carolina in fact are this way & SC just got a grant and got all kinds of new computers so it is not backwards computer-wise), I cannot see Chinese or Japanese characters at all -- so the utf-8 codes would be helpful somewhere in a comment on documents in multiple languages (I can of course see characters as displayed on the unicode charts but need the numbers so I can look them up; it does not really matter since I cannot read Chinese/Japanese; this is just a thought ; maybe the codes for the other characters could be a footnote?? I'm really not sure what to do about display of international characters )! --C. E.
