Hi
Everybody,
Has anyone tried to set up a multilingual web site with Oracle and
ColdFusion?
Your help will be

I take it that U+FEFF is the Cheshire Cat's favorite character. What about that CLOSED

In fact, a fully Pan-European font should cover not only the Roman

If we refer to only modern and contemporary languages and scripts.
Historically, we should also add Glagolitic and Ol

If you really want such a thing, Agfa Monotype can accommodate you with
Andale Mono -- they have glyphs for everything in TUS3.0.

Yes, there is, though it is probably beyond the scope of this list.
Nevertheless, there is a very simple solution. It needs to be done
on the OS level: Create metafonts.
To the application, the metafont looks just like

historical or specialist use), to which I offered some Cantonese (SIL

Bob,
I have worked with many terminal emulator systems that use mono-spaced
fonts. The first place you start having problems is with script fonts like
Arabic. With Indic languages you often have to reorder characters before
rendering. I don't think a complete Unicode mono-space font is practic
