Deborah,

Could you please clarify what this means in practice?  If I have a
document that uses PUA codepoints, and I have a font that I have been
using to display them, what will happen when I install the Panther
upgrade I just received?  Based on what Dean Snyder wrote, it sounds
like my document may not display correctly any longer.

Thanks - David
