OT Re: Text lines disappearing below bottom of main text flow frame

[Bodvar Bjorgvinsson]

Thank you for the links, Steve. Very informative.
I checked this Eth the same way in Wikipedia "eth (letter)"
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eth_%28letter%29)
and that one displayed correctly with me (automatic language settings
in FireFox).

I especially ejoyed reading the link in the page
http://briem.ismennt.is/2/2.1a/2.1.1.thorn.and.eth.htm referring to
the sort order of Thorn:
http://www.evertype.com/standards/wynnyogh/thorn.html.
It is almost a full treatise about the western alphabets through the history.

I had forgotten about the sort order being agreed on in 1994.

'Eth' and 'thorn' are letter names in Icelandic? That's interesting: they are 
in Anglo-Saxon too.

For anyone interested: 

Also 

Why mention the Wikipedia entry? Well, apart from being informative, it uses 
the thorn - apparently a real thorn - in its URL. Shows up nicely here on a Mac 
;-)
Sadly, Wikipedia's URL for eth just uses 'eth'.

'Eth' and 'thorn' are letter names in Icelandic? That's interesting: they are 
in Anglo-Saxon too.

Why mention the Wikipedia entry? Well, apart from being informative, it uses 
the thorn - apparently a real thorn - in its URL. Shows up nicely here on a Mac

Sadly, Wikipedia's URL for eth just uses 'eth'.
