[Jprogramming] Problems displaying the alphabet in J701gtk and J701jhs

[Fraser Jackson]

Why should I have to use u: to box elements of a.  ?  Seems an unnecessary 
complication - and a bigger problem for beginners.

In gtkide <"0 [2}. u: i. 16 16  still has all the problems.  That suggests 
some problems are associated with the unicode treatment of control 
characters.

Even in Jconsole the first and second line are also irregular.When the 
configure specifies a mono spaced font in gtkide we should surely expect 
characters within the ascii set will be treated as atoms and assigned a 
single space.

I am really seeking that members of the alphabet  ( and hence any literal 
nouns defined using that set ) have each member treated as an atom and that 
that treatment is clearly separated from their role in controlling the 
nature of the display.  That seems to have been achieved in J602.

The treatment of type 131072 - unicode obviously involves a host of other 
issues with respect to display and treatment of aoms.  However there are a 
large number of problems within the narrower framework of atoms within a. or 
represented by those characters. Precise, simple and consistent display of 
those atoms is extremely valuable and important and has not yet been 
achieved with the gtkide.
