I guess the reason using PUA is safe in this case because nearly all HKSCS fonts, at least within these few years, will provide mapping to PUA as a fallback, especially for the 1650+ characters above U+20000. There are still too many software limited within the BMP, especially for legacy systems like Windows 98. ;-) On the other hand, in the future, if a large CJK + CJK A + CJK B font (without HKSCS compatibility PUA) comes along... Hmm... do the *.orth support "either or", say "F308|2010C"? <grin, duck, run> ;-) Thanks again, and cheers, Anthony -- Anthony Fok Tung-Ling ThizLinux Laboratory <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.thizlinux.com/ Debian Chinese Project <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.org/intl/zh/ Come visit Our Lady of Victory Camp! http://www.olvc.ab.ca/ _______________________________________________ Fonts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/fonts
