for Netscape 6.x 1. we know we have some bug in NCR and UTF-8 conversion. We are fixing them now. 2. we know our linux/window/mac text rending code do not take care of Plane 1 yet. We plan to fix the window version in the near future. Please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you can help (providing information where to find a font, how to install, how to test, etc)
