Errata

Hi Ken,

not sure if you wanted it per email/Facebook or via this system. I am guessing this system provides proper tracking at least. :)

The last sentence reads:

Note from the Author or Editor:
The suggested correction is appropriate, except that "level" should be "Level" (capitalized). Thank you.

Apple's old Chinese Dictation Kit was released in 1995 but as far as I know has not been available for many years now, and there is nothing equivalent for OS X. The footnote url is not valid.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Remove the footnote, which is a stale URL, and insert "now-outdated" before "Chinese Dictation Kit."

Talking about push-out first line breaking, the text says "Push out first line breaking works by forcing characters thata are prohibited from terminating a line to shift down to the next line".
Reading the description, it would make sense if the left corner bracket shifted down ("this can result in lines that appear to prematurely end"), but in this case table 7-20 is identical to table 7-19, which shows push-in-first line breaking method: the left corner bracket stays on the second line and the "kanji" which follows shifts up. Could it be the image is wrong? Thank you.

Note from the Author or Editor:
The contents of Table 7-20 are incorrect. As you noted, they are the same as that of Table 7-19. The corresponding table in First Edition, Table 7-15 on page 354, has the correct content.

Pagemaker is not really "available for Mac OS X". It's a Mac OS app which (like any other) can be used in Classic mode on some older OS X systems. Classic mode is no longer support in 10.5 or on Intel Macs.

Note from the Author or Editor:
PageMaker's status is effectively equivalent to that of FrameMaker in terms of its ability to run on Mac OS X, and the text will be adjusted to state this.

MS Word for Mac, English version, 2004 and 2008, can do vertical and ruby text, after activation via the Microsoft Language Register.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Change the "I have yet to discover this functionality in the English version of Microsoft Word, at least for the Mac OS X version." sentence to the following: "Japanese functionality can be enabled in the English version of Microsoft Word for Mac OS X by using the Microsoft Language Register application that is included with Microsoft Office."

The references I have seen on this question put Mac OS X proper in the LF category. TextEdit uses LF and not CR (as was used by Mac OS).

Note from the Author or Editor:
The change from CR to LF for Mac OS X seems to have been done incrementally. Of course, Mac OS 9 and earlier used CR line endings. With each subsequent release of Mac OS X, it seems that more and more components generate LFs instead of CRs for line endings. TextEdit in particular must have been only recently changed in this regard, because I used a shell script in the Terminal application to change CRs to LFs for text files made using TextEdit. I am sure that some thid-party applications still generate CR line endings.
