Just to followup on Marc's mail: libwpd2 (the library for reading/writing WordPerfect documents) uses UCS2 internally. I made this choice because: 1. OO.o and (AFAIK) KWord use UCS2 internally. There isn't AFAIK an easy way of converting from UCS4->UCS2 in OO.o. 2. AbiWord provides a robust way of doing the conversion from UCS2->UCS4 (or at least it used to). 3. WordPerfect's extended character set is a subset of UCS2. -- William Lachance <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
