Yudit is a Unicode text editor for the X Window System.[3] It also support Linux and Macx86 64-bit as well as ARM 64-bit-v8. It was first released on 1997-11-08. It can do TrueType font rendering, printing, transliterated keyboard input and handwriting recognition with no dependencies on external engines.[4] Yudit's lack of dependence on user interface libraries like QT or GTK+ gives the software its unique look.
Yudit's conversion utilities can convert text between various encodings. Keyboard input maps can also act like text converters. There is no need for a pre-installed multi-lingual environment. Menus are translated into multiple languages.
The developer states that "since the early days of Unicode on Linux", support has improved making future versions of the program unlikely, though documentation may be updated.
It supports simultaneous processing of many languages, input methods, conversions for local character standards etc. It has facilities for entering text in all languages with only an English keyboard, using keyboard configuration maps.[5]
The author of Yudit is Gáspár Sinai, a Hungarian programmer, living and working in Japan.
