No. Coptic and Greek will look odd if put in the same font. Runic and Linear B should both be used with appropriate fonts for the original usage, since there was so much variance in glyphs. The French o-with-acute and Polish o-with-kreska are both encoded as o-with-acute, but look different in text (the Polish diacritic should be more vertical.) Fraktur is not a different script from the Latin script, and therefore is not encoded seperately. -- David Starner - [EMAIL PROTECTED], dvdeug/jabber.com (Jabber) Pointless website: http://dvdeug.dhis.org What we've got is a blue-light special on truth.
