Melroch @ Random » Computing http://blog.melroch.se Random ideas and thoughts of Benct Philip Jonsson Sat, 31 Oct 2009 17:32:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 BXS (Benct’s X-SAMPA) keymap for vim http://blog.melroch.se/computing/bxs-bencts-x-sampa-keymap-for-vim/ http://blog.melroch.se/computing/bxs-bencts-x-sampa-keymap-for-vim/#comments Thu, 06 Aug 2009 16:44:54 +0000 melroch http://blog.melroch.se/?p=329 BXS (Benct’s X-SAMPA) is an extension and alteration of CXS (Conlang X-SAMPA) which in turn is an extension of X-SAMPA. While CXS is in spite of being defined by the de facto usage of the members of the Conlang mailing list mostly backwards-compatible with X-SAMPA, BXS is not backwards-compatible with either, although differences (apart from additions) from CXS are small, since I want fellew lit members to be able to interpret BXS without too much trouble, should I happen to use BXS rather than CXS on the list! :-) The premium in choosing BXS notations is rather inner consistency and “making sense” compared to the IPA/Unicode characters they correspond to. Thus e.g. P is ɸ rather than ʋ (which is v\) although I need ʋ more often that ɸ, because it restores analogy between P B = ɸ β and T D = θ ð which at least to me is a better mnemonic; otherwise I ended up using p\ for ɸ and v\ for ʋ and not using P at all just as I’ve ended up not using F at all, instead preferring m\ for ɱ. BXS also contains notations for some nonstandard (some very nonstandard) phonetic symbols, or for abbreviating some long CXS notations for sounds which occur frequently like 8\ instead of 8_+_w (which I anyway simplify to ɵ̟ in IPA because the full IPA ɵ̟ʷ is too much of a mouthful IMHO) or w\ and ψ for β̞ which I use just because they look good (you have to admit that ψ looks like a cross between ʋ , ɸ and w at least in some fonts! :-)

Since I’m very used to typing CXS and BXS it came naturally to make a Vim keymap from BXS notations to their correspoonding IPA/Unicode characters. Since differences between BXS and CXS are small I hope other Vim users who are used to CXS and X-SAMPA will find it useful. In addition to the BXS mappings proper it contains some convenience mappings such as <punctuation char>\ to get some literal punctuation characters, and b\ g\ to get ƀ and ǥ, which are since before the IPA existed are used instead of β and ɣ in Germanic philology. The latter should not be seen as if I prefer ƀ ǥ to β ɣ, but only so that I want them available for situations where I need them. BTW you can get ɡ as opposed to g by typing g\\!

You can find the plain file here!

  1. Vänta med att ansluta skrivaren!
  2. I terminalen:
    • sudo apt-get install brother-cups-wrapper-laser

      • Detta ska också installera lpr-paket som beroenden, annars:

    • sudo apt-get-install brother-lpr-drivers-common
    • sudo apt-get-install brother-lpr-drivers-laser
  3. Anslut skrivaren. En drivrutin installeras automatiskt, men inställningarna måste modifieras för att fungera!
  4. Gå till System > Administration > Utskrifter
  5. Öppna “HL-2030-series”.
  6. I fönstret som öppnas välj “Inställningar” i menyn till vänster.
  7. Välj “Ändra…” bredvid “Tillverkare och modell”.
  8. Välj “Tillhandahåll PPD-fil”.
  9. I filbläddraren nedanför gå till [Filsystem] /usr/share/ppd/Brother/HL2030.ppd .
  10. Välj “Framåt”.
  11. Välj “Använd den nya PPD (Postscript Printer Description) som den är”.
  12. Välj “Verkställ”.
  13. Välj “Skriv ut testsida”. Förhoppningsvis får du ut en sida med tryck på!
  14. Välj “Skrivaralternativ” i menyn till vänster.
  15. Sätt följande val:
    • Media Size: A4
    • BrMediaType: Plain Paper
    • InputSlot: Tray1
    • Resolution: HQ1200dpi
    • Toner Save: Off
    • Sleep Time [Min.]: Printer Default
  16. Välj “Verkställ”.
  17. Välj “Inställningar” i menyn till vänster.
  18. Välj “Skriv ut testsida”. Förhoppningsvis får du ut en sida med bättre tryck på!
  19. Välj “OK”.

  20. Klart!
