If you're working on Windows the charmap tool (C:\WINDOWS\system32\charmap.exe) permits you to see the entire set of implemented glyphs in a particular font file. The version of TimesRoman that is bundled with Windows, it appears, covers all European fonts, plus Cyrillic (Russian) and some, (possibly all) Arabic. Another font with all the European characters and many glyphs with multiple diacritics is Gentium, which is available for free (http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=Gentium) and you can see there in the supporting PDFs the remarkable number of glyphs in the font.
Certainly, other list members can point you to other useful resources. ---Mister Bean p.s. Bruno gives a list of font sites in the appendix to his book, by the way. >>> re >>> Harakiri wrote: > > Hello, > > i read the "peace" example with multiple languages and > their font.
