> showing beyond doubt that it's rendering time adjustment. These are called ligatures it seems:
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typographic_ligature "Unicode maintains that ligaturing is a presentation issue rather than a character definition issue" ... " the use of the special Unicode ligature characters is "discouraged", and "no more will be encoded in any circumstances" " Seems unicode earlier allowed special codes for ligatures in Roman. Anyway, it's understandable why special codes are not allowed. But what does a poor application developer do? Worry himself about ligatures? Will be interesting to find out from internals of some of the apps. In any case a good design should dump the issue to fonts system and not the application. Not sure whether it's done that way given the observations in last mail. Mayuresh. _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
