(!!!)I am intrigued by GB18030 encoding. There is a table of equivalences in http://oss.software.ibm.com/cvs/icu/~checkout~/charset/data/xml/gb-18030-200 0.xml No doubt Unihan will at some stage include these 2 & 4 byte values.
I enquired about the 'super font' created by a Beijing foundry, http://font.founder.com.cn/english/web/index.htm, and am fairly astonished at the prices, as you see from the attached.
Something has to be wrong, since the website has a press release discussing how their Super Font is bundled with Microsoft Office XP, and even Microsoft's prices haven't gotten that high!
Maybe they're using , as the decimal separator and giving three digits after instead of two for some reason? I know, that's reaching.----- Original Message ----- From: "GaoZhiQing (éåé)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2004 12:09 PM Subject: re:GB18030 super font
