Looking at my source more closely, I find only one other example of the tz ligature in the text. But I do find, in the vocabulary and index, words starting with tz are sorting after quatrillo con coma (it goes z, tresillo, quatrillo, quatrillo con coma, tz). So even for this text, a tz ligature is marginal. (If Unicode encodes the tresillo and quatrillo, and I transcribe this text, I may toss a ZWJ between the ligatured tz's. But I'm afraid that this will show up as an unknown character on some systems.) -- David Starner - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Einstein once said that it would be hard to teach in a co-ed college since guys were only looking on girls and not listening to the teacher. He was objected that they would be listening to _him_ very attentively, forgetting about any girls. But such guys won't be worth teaching, replied the great man.
