Yes, that is the sort of thing I meant by 'options', but also more generally what are the different approaches that one might take to the problem? Creating a font mechanism that specifies chromatic variation is one approach, but as you note the likelihood of getting this implemented are very slim. I know of at least one other option, but I'm under NDA :) Regards, John Tiro Typeworks www.tiro.com Vancouver, BC [EMAIL PROTECTED] Language must belong to the Other -- to my linguistic community as a whole -- before it can belong to me, so that the self comes to its unique articulation in a medium which is always at some level indifferent to it. - Terry Eagleton
