I made these fonts that you are probabaly talking about. http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/download/ucs-fonts-75dpi100dpi.tar.gz The fonts contain the precomposed glyphs that I found sufficiently easy to put together. If enough users bug me with real user needs, I'll look at adding more glyphs. It was all done with a huge Perl script I wrote that adds bitmaps from existing glyphs together and adjusts the metrics accordingly. I guess I could align a closing single quotation mark to get a suitable hook, when I find some time and people show interest. First I want to finish extending the TARGET-3 fonts in http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/download/ucs-fonts.tar.gz to Unicode 3.2 however. A bit of help would be appreciated. Markus -- Markus G.
