Ok this is a strange one so please read carefully. I was working on some
table changes to improve the en-us-g2.ctb and found a strange problem that
probably should have been fixed already. If you try translating the following:
A A
It translates forward fine to a ,A but back translates to a a. This is using
the en-us-g2.ctb. This was strange because all 25 other letters forward and
back translate fine. So I decided to see if it worked in the en-us-g1.ctb. So
I loaded up lou_allround and tried it None of the single letters worked when I
did the low letter first and the cap letter second. . Now here comes the
strange part. If how ever I got a successful back translation like I type bank
and it back translates fine the next time I try to translate "a A" it works
perfectly and so do all the rest of the letters. So to see what I mean do the
following:
Lou_allround
T
En-us-g1.ctb
R
A A
B B
Bank
A A
I have no idea why that does that and it probably has nothing to do with the
original problem that a A is not working in en-us-g2.ctb I did a trace on that
and it seems that a A is using a largesign rule which is not right. I hope
someone tries the above and can help me figure out what is going on. I can
also report that when I was using the en-us-g2.ctb with "a A" I tried doing it
with lou_trace and it is using a largesign rule if I do it with "b B" it says
that b is first a lower case and second an upper case and works perfectly. So
it's just weird how the letter 'a' is working.
