The uniXXXX format names are standard. The Adobe software that makes use of glyph names can handle Adobe Glyph List names or names based on Unicode values using Adobe's glyph naming rules. Seethe Adobe docume 'Unicode and Glyph Names' at: http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/type/unicodegn.html * I am not aware of any software that relies on the old AFII names without also supporting the uniXXXX names. John Hudson * This document needs to be updated, because a new mechanism for naming supplementary plane characters has been developed at Adobe. All other aspects of the document are current.
