Dear Collegues,
I enclose the font. You find SMP characters in it. Please try it in OOo,
in my WinXP I obtained squares, only.
I am waiting additional good advices!
Best Regards
Gábor

Dear Collegues,
I loaded a Word doc to Openoffice write that contains Unicode SMP (plane
1) characters. However, the Openoffice displays double-rectangulars, only.
I have Windows XP. I can display the SMP chars by word, however some
features of the Unicode system do not work, e.g. LTO PDf pair.
But the current problem is that the Openoffice 2.4 writer does not diplay
the SMP chars.
Could you help me?
Best Regards
Gábor
I do not know enough about unicode SMP to comment further, but you might
find this of interest:

See the section: "Additional Ways to Input Unicode in Windows"

(3) Both Word and OpenOffice Writer have menu commands for inserting
unusual characters. OpenOffice has the superior functionality (tested
January 2008 with version 2.3.1). The command is under the Insert menu
and is called Special Characters…. Set the font to New Athena Unicode.
The table of characters in OpenOffice will then show all the BMP and SMP
code points present in the font. Click on as many characters as you want
and the string of characters will be shown at the bottom of the window;
when you click OK, the string is inserted in the document and the
Special Characters window closes. [This is not consistent: on one of the
two XP machines I tested the window showed the presence of SMP code
points but only with empty squares in place of the actual characters,
and if these are inserted in the document, the squares cannot be changed
by changing the font. With Vista there is perhaps no problem.]

Note the inconsistent presence of SMP code points on different WinXP
machines. Perhaps there is an WinXP setting and/or font type that needs
to be changed in order for the characters to be displayed?
If you can post a small sample of the Word doc someplace, others on the
list can test (Win2KP, WinXPP, Linux, Mac).
