Henri, I can't help with the lack of correspondence between differing sites, but I would only trust unicode.org to be definitive and the one that implementers will follow. As for fonts, to my knowledge, there is no such thing as a complete one. I've wondered whether it would be worth asking W3C to produce a reference single font that contained every glyph defined. It would be enormous, and possibly slow, or even break some systems, but have the effect of supplying everyone with at least one way of seeing any document received. I would like it to be complete (and updated with each new glyph added), but necessarily nice to look at as that could be the province of the font foundries, and W3C should not take their business. My personal opinion is that it is impractical for anyone else to create such a font simply because of the necessary knowledge that would have to be available to the designers. However, have you tried contacting them to see whether they can point you at whoever wrote the pages that used a font you want? -- Andy Pepperdine On this mailing list help is provided by volunteers.
