Good heavens. In Mac OS X if you have a glyph with a Unicode address attached to it, it will display in any application that can display any Unicode character. I don't understand why a particular bit has to be set in some table. Why can't the OS just accept what's in the font? -- Michael Everson * * Everson Typography * * http://www.evertype.com 48B Gleann na Carraige; Cill Fhionntain; Baile �tha Cliath 13; �ire Telephone +353 86 807 9169 * * Fax +353 1 832 2189 (by arrangement)
