Talk:ISO/IEC 8859-2

Complaint against bordering
Differences from ISO 8859-1 are bordered. This is hard to read and it's ambiguous, as É is bordered by all four sides but is not a difference. 2A01:119F:21D:7900:5C45:5175:70D7:C4A7 (talk) 15:41, 25 October 2018 (UTC)


 * I attempted to fix this (see Talk:ISO/IEC_8859-1) but it got reverted by User:Matthiaspaul who seems loath to make the tables any smaller or clearer and insists on reverting any change that does not make the tables as big and complex as possible. The problem you have is that as long as those silly "catagory" colors are there, you cannot use colors to indicate anything, leaving us stuck with the borders to indicate this information, which has all the problems you indicate plus the inability to indicate more than 1 true/false aspect of each character. After much fighting with him reverting every change I try, I have only succeeded in changing the color for letters from puke green to white, and getting rid of the 100% width, but pretty trivial victories.


 * Please speak up with some opinion if you think the current tables are terrible. He continuously says there is "consensus" for the current tables, even though the only posts supporting them are from him. But admittedly there are very few comments in the other direction though I think I have collected 3 people including me.Spitzak (talk) 18:58, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
