I agree completely. Also, it's worth noting that font engineering involves rather more than just "adding a few extra characters", especially when "smart fonts" are involved. Note, for instance, that some tools may trash the hints in a font. The overarching issue, though, as James pointed out, is that very often it is simply not legal to make such changes. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Constable Non-Roman Script Initiative, SIL International 7500 W.
