I also think so, from a different point of view. Such a limitation of glyph range can confuse CJK people, if developers of softwares use it without consideration for people abroad. Human being (including software developers) do tend to forget about foreign people. This is proved by the existance of many softwares which hard-code "*-iso8859-1" font as a default. CJK people don't want to suffer from such foolish developers (and the foolishness is common, not a rare case). The limitation of glyph range can offer a new method to annoy CJK people, if no mechanism to avoid the limitation on needed cases are supplied. --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/ "Introduction to I18N" http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/intro-i18n/ _______________________________________________ I18n mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/i18n
