Ive been thinking about this lately: X itself seems to only support
16bit
characters, which are not enough to display characters outside of the
BMP.
(plus X seems to have this strange concept of character matricies rather
than just treating it as a single number)
does anyone (keith?) know what plans/changes would be needed to use the
full
31 bit unicode space?
It seems that we are working ourselves into the same corner MS did with
their decision to use UCS-2 (they ended up with the nasty utf-16 with
all the surrogate pairs and what-not)
Also: having all fonts advertise only support for 10646 wont negatively
affect font-substitution by apps such as mozilla will it?
