Yes! That is why Irish traditional spelling rendered in Gentium looks so silly!
I'm sure I, or almost anyone else on this august list, could easily adapt Gentium to the small extent of removing that extraneous dot, but it would probably be illegal to so alter it. Any point asking SIL for that favour? That is, asking SIL for a special 'Irish' edition of Gentium with only our native dots, for when our native fonts are denied us, for whatever reason. mg Scr�obh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >Quoting Peter Kirk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > >> I don't think it affects Irish, unless you want to be dotless Marıon ın >> Irısh even when usıng a non-Gaelıc font.
