I don't see a change here - M.Yousif let me know if I need to change/add anything. > > It's already there: > > 0305 COMBINING OVERLINE (=overscore) (connects on left and right) > > (it's used in Japanese) (used to be called non-spacing overscore) > > Does it really behave like the sajda line? (i.e. following the behaviors > I explained) M.Yousif, could you please test to see how this glyph behaves ? If it doesn't do what we think it should, we need to simply mention this problem in our proposal to get a reaction from unicode (ie. since we won't know how to specify it, we can simply mention the expected behavior we need). I've updated the document with Munzir's (thanks btw) and M.Yousif's feedback, do please look it over and let me know (item #1, "Arabic High Rectangular Zero", has been removed per M.Yousif's note since it already exists as glyph U+06E0). The idea is to mail this PDF and the Quranic font file to Unicode to get the gears moving to solve these issues ASAP. http://arabeyes.org/~nadim/tmp/qu_prop.pdf http://cvs.arabeyes.org/viewcvs/projects/quran/fonts/ Salam. - Nadim __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
