I could do that.  I just don't want to do that 64K times.

Ignoring for the time being that OOo does not render a third of the
characters currently defined by Unicode. [How can something claim to
be Unicode-compatible, when it can not render a third of the
characters that are defined in the Unicode Standard?]

I'll try that one out later on tonight, or tomorrow.

a)  In OOo 1.1.4, Calc has a 32K limit.  
b) I'm using calc styles, to change the font.  

With your method/suggestion, I can make each column a sub-range of
Unicode. That might make it easier to find

>(e.g. char 45,60,61,62,63 yield nothing) which might be the 'holes'
you talked about.

Those are holes.

For some glyphs, that would be correct.

In Arabic, stand alone, initial letters, final letters, and
intermediate letters can have different forms.

In Sanskrit, The entire shape of a consonant changes, depending upon
the surrounding vowels.

 _The Private Use Area_  is between UxE000 and UxF8FF.

That is a long way from ASCII 127 thru 159. [And a lot more glyphs.  â  ]

Drat, I though that was the glyph for the smiley face.
