No, it is not backwards compatible. But UTC found a problem and fixed it. Unicode is still an evolving standard, with characters being added and a few things fixed. That's life; nobody is perfect and complete the first time around. Better to fix things than to ignore them! There is something of a burden on programmers and font developers to keep up. And they should do so. (I am right now looking at the Unicode 4.0 Beta and seeing what needs to be added to my Cardo font.) I wrote about this phi situation over two years ago when I compiled a listing of all available polytonic Greek fonts; this is not a recent change. David
