what software is used. Provided you use software that has appropriate
font-technology support, such as the OpenType support in Office 2003, and
provided you use a font that supports that technology, such as the Doulos SIL
font, it will display exactly as you require. This excerpt from a screenshot shows how
the character sequence < 1EB8, 0301, 1EB9, 0301 > appears in Word 2003
using the Doulos SIL font. Unicode is *designed* to use combining sequences in this way. The fact
that you see any precomposed combinations, even the e-dot, does not imply a
precedent as these are the exceptions. Peter Constable |
