ISSUE-2008: All of the SVGTextContentElement methods should be referring to UTF-16 code units instead of characters, in SVG 1.1

text-utf16-code-units

All of the SVGTextContentElement methods should be referring to UTF-16 code units instead of characters, in SVG 1.1

State:

CLOSED

Product:

SVG Full 1.1

Raised by:

Cameron McCormack

Opened on:

2008-06-19

Description:

(Copied from http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Group/track/issues/309 in the old tracker.)

ACTION-16 is to update getNumberOfChars() to work on UTF-16 unit values. It
would be best then to make the other methods on that interface (and others) use
UTF-16 unit values instead of character numbers, too.

This should be changed for SVG Tiny 1.2, too.

Related Actions Items:

• ACTION-2070 on Cameron McCormack to Fix ISSUE-2008 by adding an errata item that adds a paragraph at the start of SVGTextContentElement about it, and change the getNumberOfChars() one back to using the word "characters" - due 2008-06-26, closed
