Lacking ICU is one thing. Having ICU, but lacking a suitable Unicode font for aspects of a writing system is another thing.
One is even permitted to make use of the Private Use Area in Unicode, though this only make sense if the suitable font is packed with the module. Having a source text supplied in a non-Unicode font is a challenge. Suppose [say] you had to convert Times Roman Armenian to Unicode? Reverse engineering the character mapping table, and scripting the conversion, yes, it's feasible. Then there are all those older Indic fonts not based on Unicode. These too can be converted. What platform does Manfred have in mind? or is the answer still hush hush? btw. The subject field for this thread seems to be truncated! What were the missing words?
