The question is that is there any real iso10646 font? Most font labeled as iso10646 only cover a portion of unicode 3.0 reportire. The biggest font I'm aware is MS' unicode font comes with Office 2000, which is said covering Unicode 2.1 in full (~39,000 chars). I'm not aware any unicode 3.0 font which has about 10,000 chars more than 2.1. I guess some of chinese font makers must have made one by now. PS: when I played with MS unicode font, for about a couple minutes as the font is being loaded, my computer looks like dead, totally no response. Thinking that GB18030 font will be even bigger, it's kind of scary. -- | This message was re-posted from [email protected] | and converted from gb2312 to big5 by an automatic gateway.
