I think you're OK if you re-read what Deborah wrote: >> FYI, Panther was changed to not do font substitution in the user part >> of the PUA (it still does it in the corporate part) and just try to keep your PUA assignments down in the U+E000 "end user" end, and away from the U+F8FF "corporate use" end. Of course, if you have more than a couple thousand PUA characters, you may find out the hard way where Apple is drawing the line. -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California http://users.adelphia.net/~dewell/
