I have problem with this for this moment. Because they are basically in the same range for each charset. I don't know how those are placed in the script function. It is possible that for each group there is one byte indicating which group it is and the code, but I am pretty not sure. If this were the case, it could happen that we could somehow convert them. For the other "extended character function", we do following. We read first the one byte of mac character code and interprete it into the MacRoman table. If this character is not valid (special codes for that), we read the two bytes of WP5 charset/char pair and interprete it the same way as we use for WP5 documents. I have implemented this primarily as only the WP5 part, but if I recall well, we had some problems with particular mac characters that were misinterpreted (probably bug in WP3). So we reverted to the priority for the Mac Character. It is nevertheless conceivable, although I don't have the empirical evidence for it that if you write a document using another system language, the mac character will be from different set. There, we cannot do much unless we somehow get the information about what charset those characters are from. That is also I was saying the we could use some additional information about how the WorldScript encoding is looking like. So, unless we know which encoding the document uses for the mac character part of the 0xC0 functions, we are a bit grilled. I almost feel like actually converting the WP5 pair first and then the mac char only if the WP5 is not giving result, since it might cover correctly more cases even though it might mess up some 2-3 acutes vs. graves accents. But the proper way would be to get the information from the docs about what encoding one uses. Anybody volunteering? F. -- Please avoid sending me Word, Excel or PowerPoint attachments.
