Well, this is not a pattern recognition problem. There are very different CJK Ideograph Variants while there are very similar but entirly different ones. You have to *know* which difference is significant as "character", which difference is significant as "variant", and which difference is not important. Unless being familiar with these variants, you cannot distinguish them. If you think you can easily recognize, it is because you were grown in an environment which you have many oppotunities to read variants. Moreover, if X were a system which require people such pattern recognition and guessing, nobody would not use X for serious purpose. foR ExaMPle, I Don'T wAnT TO wrITe mY RepORT TO mY bOsS iN Such A FunNy (eVEn iF READabLe) TeXT. --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/ _______________________________________________ I18n mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/i18n
