I was looking through some documentation on the web. The program Mutt has assigned some part of the private use area for contextual presentation forms and ligatures not present in "normal" Unicode. For example U+E600 to U+E6FF contains Arabic presentation forms not defined in the Unicode standard (as compatibility characters). This is mostly (as far as I can see) for charaters used in languages normally written in other scripts (Khazak,Uzbek etc.) and unusual forms. This range could easily be supported in FVWM by exending some lookup tables. I would also like to add support for Indic scripts (Mutt has defined some ligature ranges for those scripts also), but this will require some more research.
So, what do you think, is it a good or bad idea to add the U+E600 range? This assumes the user has a font with the correct characters in this range (such as Mutt's "clearlyu"). Maybe this is an acceptable assumption (after all these Arabic characters is probably quite rare). //Marcus -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
