I use version 1.1.3 on Linux. When you turn on East-Asian support, you can select on a character base and a default vaule for the whole document, which presentation form should be displayed (simplefied chinese, traditional chinese, japanese, etc.). I suppose that this one works together with the OTF feature to have an entry in the GSUB table for different presentation forms. However, I'll have to test this. > The only applications I have heard of that support font features are > windows ones: worldpad from scripts.sil.org and Adobe Indesign.

I haven't tried that one... but maybe I should take a look at it how the features work... :) Cheers Arne -- Arne GÃtje (éçè) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/685D1E8C Fingerprint: 2056 F6B7 DEA8 B478 311F 1C34 6E9F D06E 685D 1E8C Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
